How did the Bush years go bye with such a complete absence of this sort of simple, humane thinking? Answers on a post card...
Agreed.
Peace Makers to the Mid East ?
Is that something new?
You kidding me right ?

Both of these things have been denied to the people held in this prison. It needs to be closed in exactly the same way that the Nazi concentration camps needed to be closed. Both are examples of humanity succumbing to pure evil!
I have a question. I heard Obama say that closing down Guantanamo will make us all "safer". How so? Unless, of course, he means those who are held captive or could be candidates for being held captive at Guantanamo will be "safer".

Originally posted by MarinkatombThe statement was phrased to indicate that those in the US would be "safer" is it was closed down. As far as them being held, it was my assumption that they were being held becuase they were "dangerous". Now as to the morality of doing so is for another debate altogether as well as the questions revlovling around the innocence.

The war on terror is "...a battle for justice and freedom.." ??? Since when? I thought it was a war on Islamic terrorists who attack western interests because they support Israel.
