The actor has a right to an opinion, his opinion. If one of his parents or a brother or sister had died in a terrorist attack he might have thought better than to put his opinion out for all to see. He is a weird guy anyway.
If I was KING, I would expand Gitmo to house more bad guys from the Senate and House of Reprobates.

Cumberbatch should weigh in on conditions in the rest of Cuba. He might be shown the prisons that house the political prisoners before they face the firing squad.

Cumberbatch said: “I feel quite strongly that Guantánamo doesn’t have a place in our world.” When asked if he hopes US President Joe Biden will close Guantánamo, Cumberbatch added: “Hoping? I’m going to plead with the guy.”

Jeez, like anybody wants advice from someone who makes a living pretending to be someone he isn’t and whose lack of imagination led him to adopt a Dickensian-like name as his stage name. Maybe I’m culturally deprived but I never heard of him before.

Maybe if some “Southeast Asians” crashed airliners into Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the Downing Street Gonvernmental offices simultaneously he might feel differently. But probably not. He’d just wring his hands about how Britain drove them to to do it.

So a Brit, from a country with a history that created entire continents of penal colonies, is going to lecture anyone about their prison system?

If he wants to close Guantanamo Bay, let him sign the paperwork where the United States will send the current and future prisoners to his house. If even one of his wards plots to commit a terrorist act, HE and ALL of them go back to Guantanamo Bay.

Stupid Brit. The moslems are lucky we didn’t have a President with enough backbone to nuke Mecca.

And what does he say about Chinese concentration camps? What does he say about North Korean camps? What does he say about Iranian, Saudi, ISIS, and Pakistani prisons.

Nothing sounds more ignorant than an actor who acts in a film thinking they are an expert now. That would be like Tom Cruise in front of Congress testifying about fighter jets.
Jessica Lang testified in front of Congress about farm policy in the 80s because she played a farmers wife in a movie.

Idiotic.

HOW many of the released Gitmo detainees went back to the battlefield to carry out more terrorist attacks after they were released?

How many of them died committing terrorist attacks?

Did he visit any of the prisons that Castro used for those with AIDS?

Candidate Obama promised he would close it.

He didn’t. And he had 8 years to do so.

I going to ask Alan Alda for his opinion on open-heart surgery.

I will then ask Tom Hanks about how to best deal with AIDS.

Next up is my interview with Matt Damon on calculating definite integrals and eigenvalues.

I will close with Martin Sheen's insights on wining the New Hampshire primaries.

Cumberbatch jumped into a mugging a few years back and fought off 4 muggers who were attacking a delivery guy. How many freepers have done such? Give the guy some slack.

He’s arguably right about shutting down Guantanamo.

>>People get one side of a story from people proven to be militants and they take it as gospel.

The son of the Weather Underground terrorists thinks his parents got a raw deal and became a Socialist Dumbarse (DA) in San Fransicko.

I know it’s waaay too late, but I would have liked to have seen some of the banksters end up there.

They’re not “prisoners of war” - they are captives and have the same status as pirates. They should have been dealt with immediately as pirates once were but for the sake of intelligence gathering, we have let them keep breathing. When their usefulness is at an end, they should be hanged with a dead pig around their neck, buried face down in pig s*** with the soles of their feet pointed towards Mecca. And let the rest of their cell mates watch as it’s done. After that, I’ll bet their jailers wouldn’t need such measures as water-boarding to get the information they need...

“Too Big to Fail” always sounded like the title of some wretched porno.

One thing is sure, we little people sure got screwed.
