I stand firm, right here! ;)
Seriously, though, everyone should stop referring to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp as "Gitmo", which makes it sound so cute and cuddly.
And, although I believe the treatment of the prisoners was inhumane and without due process - - they give football players who torture animals 30-day prison sentences who then get their own cable TV show, and they give multiple DUI's the ability to just waltz out of jail and get into a car and drive drunk, yet again, but those accused of serious crimes against humanity aren't even given access to lawyers on American soil - - and, there are valid reasons for the prisoners being there, so it should not be closed.

Thanks, everyone who voted for me!!! =:)
And, for those who didn't:
HEY!!!
The question was asked MONTHS ago,
and mine was the ONLY answer,
AND it was intelligent,
AND it answered the question!!!!
So, exactly what in the world
is your criteria for a "best answer"???????
If it was because it didn't fit into Mahalo's
definition of a "twitted" (pun intended) Q,
vis-a-vis, answering within 90 characters,
the vast majority of such Q's,
including this one, are virtually impossible
to do so (in many such Q's, I have added a
disclaimer to that effect before starting my
answer, but forgot to do so, here).
Those individuals in that location are not Americans; the issue of due process, etc., is NOT FOR THEM. They are there because they did crimes against America; as for giving them 'rights' and a platform to stand on and spread their messages to each other, THAT IS A BAD IDEA AND A WRONG THING TO DO. That is entirely wrong for many reasons. And, they are not treated badly; I know what bad treatment is and so do many other humans who have been held hostage or beaten while being detained against their own free will!! Hostages do not receive special meals, nor prayer materials, nor even water and 'restrooms'. Open you eyes to real history!! OR be dooming us all to having bad things happen to us. Do not give those-being-held-down south a platform and freedom to attack uslll And my ideas on water boarding or using 'torture'; we as a country really are smarter than that; so why is it used rather than methods which GET INFORMATION (a little shot, or a 'shot' of beverage made to produce results. And speaking of abilities and rights; why were the hijackers of flight 814 not tracked nor the releasees 'given' something to help track their release/escape:across an open countryside??? Why is it that the satellites can read a license plate in a parking lot and yet killers were allowed to get away with murder and to get away??? (Within that plane, there was NOT game playing and fun times ; no food, no water, and no ahum, no 'facilities'.) Two more important points: dear reader, please learn that the media will alter a crime scene and that media is out for the prize and will betray citizens in the process; that was the reason I had to stop G R from bragging about his location and giving away secrets!! How do we open the eyes of 'our leaders' about the topic that they do not know how to win this war because they are thinking only like americans and fighting an American war, but the enemy disagrees and can only be defeated when we fight 'their war'.JM
