- inactive, on 01/23/2009, -9/+89How about charging them with crimes and sending them to court? Something Bush refused to do.
- username7410, on 01/24/2009, -2/+62Put them all in loft in Miami and film them to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real.
- MCBROCK, on 01/23/2009, -10/+43Send them back to Iraq for trial and punishment. Guantanamo probably won't look so bad compared to an Iraqi prison followed by a public hanging.
- rockrapdude, on 01/24/2009, -11/+38Give them a fair trial for starters.
- jojo1224, on 01/24/2009, -8/+30......***** Meat Sandwich's?????
- inactive, on 01/24/2009, -2/+22Makes sense to me - I never understood the opposition's point here. If they're really so obviously guilty, then it really shouldn't be a challenge at all to try them and put 'em away for a very long time.
- BiggestofMikes, on 01/24/2009, -1/+20"At least one, a Kuwaiti named Abdullah Salih al-Ajmi, appears to have carried out a suicide bombing in Mosul last year."
How do you appear to have carried out a suicide bombing? "And I HELPED!" - dvsbstrd, on 01/24/2009, -1/+20They're all going to get on a bus, right?
And they're going to go to Popeye's for some chicken and weed, because you can buy weed through the drive through, okay?
And they'll get all, like, mellowed out, and Obama's gonna be like "Okay guys, you all know this terrorism ***** is bad, and like, you should stop."
And they're gonna be like "Woah, the black dude is right. I'm so high right now."
And Obama's going to start talking really slow so they think they're moving really fast and they'll get freaked out and be like "***** ***** ***** dude, the Obama man isn't ***** around."
And then everyone goes home and passes out on the floor.
Where home is, well, that's not Obama's business, because sometimes when you get really high, you end up somewhere and you don't know how you got there, so he's probably gonna like, send 'em to France because the French are stupid and Americans hate the French and vice versa so we'll be like "YEAH ***** YOU FRANCE".
It's the perfect plan. - inactive, on 01/24/2009, -3/+21Hey man, if you're so sure they're dangerous terrorists, I don't see what you've got to fear - won't it be easy to convict them in a court of law?
- HouseofEl, on 01/24/2009, -2/+19Why is it everyone is talking about this like they're going to be released onto the streets of someones small town? They're prisoners. So what if they are sent to Alcatraz? Fine! Stop trying to spread fear that these people are going to somehow break out of federal prison and start killing people. So say they break out of Leavenworth? How long do you think they would last in Kansas of all places? Send them to my town for all I care. This fear mongering is outright retarded. Release the wrongfully imprisoned and ship the legitimate prisoners off to where ever. Too many NIMBYs are running their mouth without really thinking any of this through.
- Nerys, on 01/24/2009, -5/+16basically yes. IF there was a reason to lock them up they would have been charged.
I say the choices are clear for obama. I mean he took his sworn oath twice so he knows it by now.
you either charge them provide them with lawyers and a hearing or you release them and COMPENSATE them for there illegal imprisonment.
Thats how things are SUPPOSED to work in this country. - ECas123, on 01/24/2009, -0/+11Free the innocent then off the rest?
- KreegsMcSteves, on 01/24/2009, -0/+9If I could, I would give you like 80 thumbs up for that comment.
- s4g4n, on 01/24/2009, -1/+10Now that Guantanamo is going to be empty it would of been the next shooting location for Prison Break's next season IMO.
- Nerys, on 01/24/2009, -0/+9No we are not going to have to figure out what to do with them.
We need to STOP figuring things out and START FOLLOWING THE LAW.
Its really that simple. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE LAWS.
You say but bad people will go free. THAT'S LIFE MAN its not always safe. LIFE is a risk. but without LAWS and without RIGHTS what the hell is the point of living. because if you let them VIOLATE the rights of these people INEVITABLY they will come for YOU !
Then who is going to stand up for you? - btschul, on 01/24/2009, -15/+23Why don't we just let them loose in the US? I mean, it's not like they're dangerous or anything right? They're just a bunch of innocent people who got locked up for no reason, right?
- twiztidsinz, on 01/24/2009, -7/+14Don't insult Mighty Mouse like that.....
- lamejoketeller, on 01/24/2009, -0/+7<retort implicating Clinton somehow>
- twiztidsinz, on 01/24/2009, -0/+7Real World: Gitmo
- censormagnet, on 01/24/2009, -1/+7after so long in captivity they would never survive in the wild.. the only humane thing to do is put them to sleep

- oldhick, on 01/24/2009, -6/+12Yeah, it was a conservative/libertarian program on a liberal network. He's got one of the 3 highest listened to radio programs in the country.
Why don't you comment on the topic instead of the person or is the ad hominem your best tool?
I listen carefully and respond politely to news personalities I disagree with and don't feel the need to attack them to make my point. - dofe, on 01/24/2009, -1/+7What's incredulous about the Bush supporters is that they actually believed we could keep detainees imprisoned forever without trials or some sort of resolution.
Bush failed to come up with a long-term plan before going gun-ho like a cowboy into Iraq. Same with the detainee situation; Bush simply failed to come up with a long term plan before rounding up individuals into GITMO and secret prisons. - lamejoketeller, on 01/24/2009, -7/+13I don't think San Francisco will ever stop being the butt of this type of joke
and yet we make the most money from tourism of any city except NYC, you people make fun of us and still give us your money
and we enact progressive legislation decades before it's (and it almost always is) adopted by the rest of the country
I guess being fun of isn't a very high price to pay to live in one of the friendliest and most scenic cities in the world... - btschul, on 01/24/2009, -4/+9So why shut the place down?
- jojo1224, on 01/24/2009, -0/+5Im guessing you haven't seen Harold & Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo bay.
- admntlv, on 01/24/2009, -2/+7He's a Conservative in the classic sense -- if you listen or watch him you will see that he rips Bush on a daily basis.
- Hillsfar, on 01/24/2009, -2/+7Question for all you Diggers. And don't worry about digging up or down. Please comment with your answer.
There were over 500 who were put into Guantanamo, including teenagers and septuagenarians and a guy they called Half-Head Bob, because he was literally missing half his head due to a massive war wound and had no frickin' comprehension of anything going on. Over 300 were released without charges after it was found out that they were innocent or the charges were not credible or the charges were made up by the Northern Alliance Afghans so that they could turn humans over for cash rewards. (Yes, some were sent to other countries' jail systems.)
So the questions are: If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and you were captured, jailed, and tortured day in and day out for a long period of time... And then you were let go a few years later because you were found innocent... Would you want revenge? Would you hate the people who did it to you, and the government they stood for? If it wasn't you who was locked up, would you understand why these people would subsequently join Al Qaeda?
Lastly, if you think these people should remain locked up, do you think we should also keep convicted American criminals locked up after they've served their time in state or federal prison? After all, the majority of American convicts are repeat offenders...
Just a thought, folks. I'd love to your your answers. - Ragzouken, on 01/24/2009, -0/+5Enough doubt that they had to kept out of the legal system it seems.
- odigity, on 01/24/2009, -3/+7Obama, the "peace candidate" just bombed Pakistan:

- godofallcows, on 01/24/2009, -7/+11Yeah, maybe they can have cabinet positions, or become commercial pilots.
- Maddoktor2, on 01/24/2009, -1/+5<rebuttal blaming the whole mess on Bush>
- akchrs, on 01/24/2009, -3/+7I said this earlier today and I didn't listen to Glenn Beck. It's a great idea.
- manogamez, on 01/24/2009, -0/+4You just don't get it do you? Sigh...
Is it really so hard to understand that these people are SUSPECTED criminals who have rights? You know, human rights?
And it seems you know nothing about the demographic of the prisoners. Most are either Afghani or US CITIZENS. - nepidae, on 01/24/2009, -2/+5Obama was president in 2007? I never knew.
- joe122370, on 01/24/2009, -6/+9one of the few that was let go got a new job.....
A former Guantánamo Bay detainee emerges as the deputy leader of Al Qaeda's Yemeni branch
now we'll be even safer!!!!! thanks Obamaman

- imikedaman, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3I'll give you a hint: "I found a nose. It appears to belong to Abdullah Salih al-Ajmi."
- wardawg31, on 01/24/2009, -1/+4It did not tank. He was hired by FoxNews.
- Dgen_X, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3I heard it was a skate park...
- skztr, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3Trials and eventual justified imprisonment in other facilities for most.
Release for some
Release and serious compensation for others.
If we could only get hard evidence that someone was "a bad guy" by torturing them: release them into the general population. If they kill, we screwed up by using torture, not by releasing them. Perfectly acceptable to keep an eye on them and swiftly prosecute once actual evidence exists. - pintomp3, on 01/24/2009, -1/+4# The majority were not captured by U.S. forces but rather handed over by reward-seeking Pakistanis and Afghan warlords and by villagers of highly doubtful reliability. These locals had strong incentives to tar as terrorists any and all Arabs they could get their hands on as the Arabs fled war-torn Afghanistan in late 2001 and 2002—including noncombatant teachers and humanitarian workers. And the Bush administration has apparently made very little effort to corroborate the plausible claims of innocence detailed by many of the men who were handed over.

- brianez21, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3Your logic is undeniable.
- SniperGX1, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3Charge em or let em go
- robinthehood, on 01/24/2009, -2/+5What's next for Guantanamo inmates?
How about send each and every American a copy of Robert Fisk's "The Great War for Civilization" and then force each and every one of them to read it. Then, when they understand the historical context of Guantanamo in relation to Bosnia, or the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, or the expulsion of the Shah in Iran, then let the Americans decide what to do with Guantanamo.
As of right now, we (the world community) are expecting the blind, deaf and dumb to make educated decisions.
Please note, I am not saying this of only Americans, it's the global general population that is blind, deaf and dumb. The reason I use Americans is that it is THEIR prision. The rest of the world unfortunately has no say. - inactive, on 01/24/2009, -0/+3Enough with this argument. Most of these people were picked up on the battlefield--we have every right to detain them because we had every right to kill them instead. They should be lucky we didn't saw their heads off like they do to our civilian contractors and citizens.
- inactive, on 01/24/2009, -2/+5We could grind them into chilly and feed them to their parents.
I know a guy who will do it... -
