Innocent people interrogated for years on slimmest pretexts
• Children, elderly and mentally ill among those wrongfully held
• 172 prisoners remain, some with no prospect of trial or release
This is what democracy looks like?
You can expect a lot of silence over this. No one wants to admit how god damn wrong they were.

Sooo im guessing im sick because i dont support torture? I dont support questionable methods of interrogation? I dont support fair trials? I dont support the right to habeus corpus? I dont support people who have been innocent being held for years and years on end?
Your right i am "sick".. Sorry i believe in the right of law.... Something i thought America stood for.. Oh well im just "sick."
you may want to edit this, this just doesn't sound right.I dont support people who have been innocent being held for years and years on end?
Omar Khadr, aged 15 at the time, is the son of an alleged al-Qaida leader in Canada. He killed a US soldier by throwing a grenade at him during a battle at a suspected al-Qaida base in Afghanistan. Khadr has spent nearly nine years in Cuba as a result.
His 2004 assessment stresses the intelligence value of his family connections. "Based on the detainee's folder, the knowledgeability brief and subsequent interrogations by JTF Guantánamo, the detainee is of high intelligence value to the United States.
"Detainee continues to provide valuable information on his father's associates, and on non-governmental organisations that he worked with in supporting al-Qaida, as well as other major facilitators of interest to the US."
Khadr pleaded guilty to war crimes at a military tribunal in October 2010, becoming the first minor to face such a conviction since the second world war. The plea deal is due to see him transferred to Canada later this year, to serve the remainder of an agreed eight-year sentence.
He was said he did because someone told him that someone was going to rape him in prison if he didn't say he had done the crime. I mean would a boy cry for his mother if he had done the crime?
This week, a 16-year-old boy was seen crying for his mother under interrogation in Guantánamo. How did he get there? | World news | The Guardian
I had to have a 16 year old arrested after he stole $500 in product from my store, then threated a staff member. When the cop tried to restrain him the kid took a shot. The cop took him down and cuffed him. IMMEDIATELY the kid started crying, begging for his mother. Just sayin'.
Oh please, to say were all to blame is brushing this thing off like its something we shouldn't talk about. We should be talking about it and try to make changes in order to do the right thing as a people Guantanamo bay prison should be closed down.
Okay, and where do we put those who we are all pretty confident have masterminded or controlled violence against Americans and other world citizens?
Rolls eyes, I have confidence in our prison system to hold them and keep them away from others.
At what expense? In what facility? With what security measures? In what state? It isn't as simple as saying "oh, we'll keep 'em separate". If you want Gitmo closed I respect your opinion, but I'm not willing to stand on some arbitrary moral compass if the alternative has the potential to harm more people. The logistics have to be worked out before anybody is moved out of that prison. I remember articles from several news sources illustrating how avidly states were fighting to keep the detainees out of their prisons. We don't want them in Gitmo, but we don't want them here, either...
Well lets start with your idea, what do we do with the prisoners, how do we put them on trail, how do we capture them in field, how do we interrogate them in the field, where do we take them, who do we release, although in war time countries who capture people(I 'll use this term)in the field of battle, this individuals are either shot for being out of uniform or flag, or they become POW's until the war is over. They could built a camp on the backside of Kingwood, with just a few guards.Oh please, to say were all to blame is brushing this thing off like its something we shouldn't talk about.
