there has been a big uproar around the world and amongt americans, more on the democratic side, to close the prison at gitmo because of our bad treatment of prisoners. we are putting the prisoners into categories; some are being released, some tried in the US and some to be detained indifinetly in the US. now some americans, with some clever stimulation by republicans are asking; do we really want the worst of the worst in our community? now you may say they are not going to be in the community, they are going to be in prison. but the prison will be in our communities. might they become targets. i dont know but i sure would not want them in my neighborhood; NIMBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so what is wrong with gitmo? its just a piece of real estate. LOCATION IS NOT POLICY. you want to be nicer to the prisoners? fine. you can be nicer there. why be nicer here? its unlikely that al queda will invade gitmo; but if they do we have the right people ready with no civilians.
it seems like all symbolic bullshit to me.
