Gitmo is more than just a prison. You could close old X-ray on windward beach since it mars the nice chillax there.
I suggest a old floating oil tanker as a prison ship sailing around the Antarctic with explosive charges if illegally boarded or takeover by the prisoners.
No it’s easier
He’s right why?

Who is this douche canoe anyways? Never heard of him.
He should try wishing in one hand and pooping in the other, just to see which one fills up first.
“No more prisoners. We take them out where they are.”
IIRC, under the Geneva Conventions terrorists are classified the same as pirates meaning they can be subject to a summary execution when caught.
Wow this is weird. I was just wanting someone to beat Benedict Cumberbatch with a crowbar. Any takers?
He’s a blue blood Brit
Real surname
I wonder how he KNOWS IT DOESN’T WORK. These actors and liberals are short on facts, as well as looking at the big picture, pros and cons, options, nuance, and thoughtful debate or discussion. They just sew a one liner because they FEEL something and think it is fact.
sew=saw
I wonder if Cucumber protested the terrible British prisons for the IRA in Ireland?
The only reasons that a number of the GITMO detainees haven’t been charged or tried yet are:
Clinton and Holder and Obama and Holder, etc. wanted to prosecute them on US mainland soil where civilian trials were to be used instead of military tribunals.
Communist lawyers including Lynne Stewart via communist legal fronts esp. the National Lawyers Guild and its offshoot, the Center for Constitutional Rights kept filing motions for dismissal, immediate trial etc. which stalled any orderly govt process for getting military tribunals going.
The reds, esp. Michael Ratner, Stewart, possibly Kunstler and his NLG/CCR red buddies, wanted the civil or even criminal courts to hold the trials, not those of the military and fought them for years. This delayed any legal prosecutions.
Many GITMO alumni went back to being Islamic terrorists in their own countries or helpers in other countries who took them in.
Actors. Is there anything they DO know ?
BTW, Cucumberpatch, you had no business playing Khan.
But he is the perfect Dr. Strange.
Didn’t say he was right. But there are many reason why Guantanamo could be closed. Rational people could just discuss it without the need for insults.
I didn’t insult you
I ask you why you thought that
Reasons why Guantanamo should be closed?
I wasn’t referring to you for insults.
Reasons to close Guantanamo:
1- Too many overseas bases.
2- Torturing suspects in Guantanamo isn’t one bit better than torturing them anywhere else.
3- Cheaper to house them in the US rather than keep an entire base open.
I think they keep them there because it keeps them from lawyering up via rights here on continental soil
Torture...I’m ambivalent
Most torture is done by third party nations under none such qualms
Too many overseas bases...yes...but Guantanamo has a distinct political history from the Cold War which justified it
Eventually Cuba will want us there....I mean look at Vietnam now
We kept Mariel boat lift criminals infinitely without what you or I would call due process for crimes in Cuba far less damaging to the USA than these folks did
Their treatment is pretty soft compared to say
Florence ADX
New Mexico State pen Santa Fe.....
Some urban stockades
Some rural work camps especially in my part of the country
The argument is mostly a leftist talking point proffered by those who disagree with the WOT or feel the terrorists are right and we deserve it
Seems to me
I’ll give you too many foreign bases
Former Congressman Bobby Schilling passed away last week, cancer. 57.
Everyone loves “Sherlock”, I saw like 3 episodes and honestly thought it sucked.
