Shut down? The people inside the cages should be tried and either found guilty or let go.

Shutting down is not going to solve the problem. The problem is real humans are being held without a trial.

good point from what I'm hearing, no one has been given a trial there in the past 5 years. is this valid in a military prison?

ahh ok i just got my answer, apparently durring a time of war Prisoners of war are not generally given a trial.. why is this?

We need prisons outside US soil so we don't have to give terrorists and war criminal the same rights a US citizen would have.

Let's face it, war criminals and terrorists don't deserve the same rights as US citizens. That said, they do have some rights, but I believe that is governed byh the Geneva Convention.

A time of war?? Didnt we invade and take over Iraq in 2 weeks?

1. Shut it down? HELL NO. why would you shut it down?

2. embarrassed about it? HELL NO. this ain't no candy coated world. open your eyes and get used to it.

if they're no longer proviidng any information and are useless to us, put them on trial and let them sit in a federal prison instead of gitmo.
