I do not understand what shutting down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center in Cuba is going to accomplish. The prisoners will still be isolated and have limited contact no matter where they are housed.

The facility is built. The facility is staffed. The prisoners are there. There is ZERO capital cost to leaving the facility open.

Which of those prisoners should remain isolated with limited contact? Many have yet to be formally accused of any crimes or hostile acts, let alone given access to legal counsel or a chance to see, let alone to refute, any such charges or evidence against them.

Anyone who advocates such continued imprisonment of possibly innocent human beings should be made to endure what they have suffered for several years before speaking. That includes George W. Bush, Dickwad Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales and the rest of their corrupt gang of traitors, murderers, torturers. war criminals and war profiteers.

I just watched a Daily Show episode from this past week, and they had a few clips from Republican congressmen talking about closing Gitmo. And one of them (I can't remember who, I'll try to find it) seriously suggested that we need Gitmo specifically to lock up prisoners that courts find INNOCENT. In my opinion, that's the kind of thinking we really need to get away from here...

I would venture to say Rainsford that you just came up with a new saying that can be added to the various other sayings we use....
The saying you just came up with and I approve of is that is "Republican thinking"!!
or lack thereof...
