Keep the prison open and those who are icarcerated ther until they are tried by Military court.
I beleive they were taken there as prisoners of war and they should get the full force of our Military Justice.
They don.t have any rights to our judicial system and have no visa to come for a visit.
If Cuba was one of our allies or were the 51st state, they should be paying taxes and voting etc. and then they could have a right to our Judicial court.

Is there anyone who represents the people any more? This is a travesty!!!! 70% of Americans do not want Gitmo closed!!! Including the detainees! Our representative government is in the process of being dismantled…Do we have to riot (like Iran) in the streets before they listen to the people?

Take away Obama’s funding is like taking away his blood! What could he promise if he couldn’t spend someone elses money? EVERYTHING this man thinks about or touches turns into a deficit. He can’t make a decision that doesn’t cost millions, no trillions, of dollars.

The majority of Americans are against closing Gitmo. However it seems our voices are not heard anymore. Obama talked a good talk against George Bush and how he did’nt listen to what Americans wanted, he did as he wished no matter the outcome. Obama is’nt any different As a matter of fact most of what he has promised during his run for the most honorable position in America has failed miserably. Closing gitmo and releasing these thugs, as well as permitting them to do again what they were in Gitmo for anyway, speaks volumes about the President. He can spend billions to ‘Bail Out’ crooks and and thieves, but does’nt want to spend our money to keep these terrorist in a place that they deserve to be because of the atrocities commited against humanity and our our military personel. There should never be any reason to release terrorists. There should be no sympathy to terrorists that have beheaded , blown up,savagely killed our millitary and have no regard for humanity any where. Wake up Obama. Listen to our wishes and have sympathy to the families that have lost their children and loved ones and friends, not only in America but other countries as well. My opinion is they deserve nothing short of death.

Someone voted for it when they thought it wouldn’t pass, but when it looked like it would they switched to the outcome they really wanted.

That’s the only way to stop this lunacy…we have the power of the vote, use it! Write in, call in, and let them know that we are no longer allowing this game to continue. It is time for action. Keep your friends informed, if you see something, hear something, let them know, hit send a link, forward, keep it going. they do the same. There are hundreds of us, which multipy into thousands, which then multipy into tens of thousands, and this is the only way to fight them. Educate those that don’t pay attention to what is happening. So many go about their lives and have no idea what is going on, and then all of a sudden it hits their pockets, and they scream. Well, we are going to send it to them, if they read it, it’s up to them. But, it seems like many are reading, paying attention, more and more are commenting, and growing weary, and want this change to change. I will not go any further with the deceit and parlor games they are playing. I have been a democrat my whole life, and now, I am fighting to have my country back. I am switching to Independent status.
