Green Guantánamo: From detention center to peace park?
Christian Science Monitor ^ | March 18, 2016 | Jason Thomson

As President Obama gears up for his presidential visit to Cuba this weekend – the first in 80 years – scientists are pondering the future of Guantánamo Bay Naval Base. One idea proposed is the creation of a transnational conservation area, or peace park.

Cuba's extensive environmental laws, known as "Law 81," date back to Fidel Castro's attendance at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where he castigated "consumer societies" for their "atrocious destruction of the environment."

Communist societies care so much more for the environment.

Send Obama , Clinton , Holder , Learner , and a few others to do time in Guantanamo .
It should be kept open as a ‘political malfeasance in office ‘ prison .

Obama will give away GITMO - no doubt.

Under the pretext of a “conservation park” it will be a pure political gesture, as usual from Obama. What black-hearted conservative will oppose a “peace park?”

It was a US Naval Base long before a country club for detainees. We need to keep it. Period.

That is why Obama will try to find a way to give it to the nearest communist who has an excuse to take it. Obama hates America and Americans and will do everything he can to harm our country. Surely Gitmo is on his list.

It will be turned into a World Heritage Site and Global Memorial of Oppressive American Imperialism and Persecution of Islam.

He cannot do this one by executive order. He can try but it can’t happen

Maybe we should give that bit of real estate back to the Cubans, eh? The analog would be a Cuban naval base in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi or Florida. Probably not much tolerance here for that kind of violation of sovereignty. Any rationale or justification for our theft of Cuban property would be the exact same rationale that the left uses to get n bed with Islam, the same sort of double standard and subjective blindness. Either we believe in the integrity of the borders of nation states or we don’t. This is a no brainer for conservatives, but you’ll find a way to wiggle out of its logic.
