Obama shutting down Guatanamo Bay

Also he has ordered the CIA to begin closing "all secret prisons".

What do you think of this?

Has he actually done it yet? Things are easier said then done.RushMetallica

It'll be kind of hard to judge if he actually delivers on this. "All secret prisons"? Well if they're secret anyway it'll be hard to tell if they keep on running. And as for the detainees being thoroughly reviewed I'm not sure if he's promising to actually give them trials or just have someone look over their files and decide if they should be released or not.darkmoney52

Just as long as he does something with the prisoners in Guantonamo, I am fine. The people in that prison deserve any penelty they get.

And regarding those secret prisons..... not so secret anymore:P

he's a dummy, he's letting the terrorists go free.willtsherman

One of Obama's first actions so far has been to order Guantanamo to be shut down within a year as well as all the cases of the prisoners detained there to be reviewed thoroughly.

Also he has ordered the CIA to begin closing "all secret prisons".

What do you think of this?

[QUOTE="willtsherman"][QUOTE="chrisrooR"] :lol: Please, go read up on the living conditions many prisoners face there.

the terrorists should just go to concentration camps

I think they should at the very least have prisons for enemy combatants to keep them from the streets, but do eliminate torture and waterboarding.Genetic_Code

I think this pretty closely describes my view. Add onto that my personal belief that torture is morally wrong regardless of circumstances and you've got the full picture of how happy I am with one of Obama's first actions.nocoolnamejim

i read it, we had videos of him buying grenades and land mines, he is totally inoccent, i applaud you:roll:

I'm happy.

The Patriot Act was a nice idea, but its methods were anything but patriotic and very intrusive to the citizen. Keeping someone prisoner, without telling them why they are there, not giving them a speedy trial- these things and a whole plethora more are all against our own constitution, and honestly, the government has the power to put anyone they want in Guantanamo with or without evidence. The torture that goes on there doesn't make me sick to my stomach or anything, but I know it wrong when done to an innocent person caught in the crossfire, and that angers me a lot. Especially knowing that our "land of the free and home of the brave" is responsible for it, doesnt make me ashamed to be an American, but often it makes me think what it means nowadays to people to be an American.

I think Obama is absolutely correct and just in doing this. It's not like Guantanamo has actually stopped terrorism, or even slowed it down. Look around the world: it's not helping, there are still car bombings daily, suicide bombers, and war. Having one other place after another where innocent human beings are being tortured is not my idea of a good thing to do just to weed out a few here and there.

Also he has ordered the CIA to begin closing "all secret prisons".

What do you think of this?

Yes you should fall in to terrorist demands and release prisoners, great idea!

Trust me under this president there will be more terrorist attacks on the US and you guys will see how good Bush really was.

Learn to read. I never said that they were releasing terrorists just prisoners.

When was it stated that terrorists would be set free? I missed that one.

I'm happy.

There were prisoners that were tortured there which is not suppose to happen in a democratic country? Part of the reason for a war on terror is to prevent the kind of things that happen at Gitmo. Another thing is people have been there for 7 years with no trial. Would anyone want to live in what is suppose to be a democratic country where anyone can be locked up and never given a trial? If they are guilty give them a trial and let them serve their time.HeyDoYaThang

Exactly I am happy Obama is actually doing this. Truly he is actually casuing some change. America is not supposed to be like the middle east where they don't give you a trail and make you suffer. But to be exact they put you to death which it better than living in Guantanomo Bay.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"][QUOTE="NZgamer007"] I guess you have been there or maybe you just believe every single thing you read from media outlets just trying to sell papers. Plus prove they are not terrorists. I would rather be safe then sorry.xaos
