    Even terrorists have human rights, this idea is what separates us from Communist China, Nazi Germany etc.

    Gitmo is a PR nightmare and must be closed. The USA is supposed to stand for certain principles and maintaining such a magnet for criticism only undermines the "war on terror". In the end the Gitmo prisoners (those who genuinely can't be put on trial) will likely be moved to Bagram, out of sight.

  2. You finally spoke some words of wisdom. Quite an impressive task for someone of your dullard nature.

    Keep up the good work. You get a Gold Star on the forehead.

    Barack Obama made the second secret oath to Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. The secret oath must be "I Barack Obama will destroy USA"

    "The Defense Department recently estimated that more than 60 terrorists released from Guantanamo may have returned to the battlefield."

    The important fact to recognize here is that these 60 terrorists were released during Bush's tenure and with his approval. "The command structure of the Department of Defense is defined by the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 (PL 99-433), signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on October 1, 1986. The Act reworked the command structure of the United States military, introducing the most sweeping changes to the Department since it was established in the National Security Act of 1947.

    Under the act, the chain of command runs from the President of the United States, through the Secretary of Defense, to the combatant commanders (COCOM) who command all military forces within their area of responsibility. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the service Chiefs of Staff are responsible for readiness of the U.S. military and serve as the President's military advisers, but are not in the chain of command. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is by law the highest ranking military officer in the United States. Each service is responsible for organizing, training and equipping military units for the commanders of the various Unified Combatant Commands."

    Bush through his Secretary of Defense authorized the release of these 60 terrorists. This is a fact.

    "President Obama on Thursday signed an order mandating that the Guantanamo Bay prison be closed within the year. What to do with the detainees has been a hotly debated topic."

    Any debate about the detainees is sheer conjecture at this point in time. Nobody has been released after Obama took office till date. A course of action is yet to be determined. The latest batch of releases took place when the U.S. military sent six more Guantanamo prisoners home from Guantanamo on Saturday,January 17 2009.
