Being discussed on Fox News now.
I recommend a nice cozy, remote spot like, say...The North Slope of Alaska.
Bush even suggesting that he might close it just brings up more of this from the left. He should plainly state that the left is more concerned about the legal rights of these terrorists, then about defending the US. this administration is never on offense, always on defense.
The prison on a Navy base at the southeastern tip of Cuba is part of this response. Captives are held with few rights, not even those given to conventional prisoners of war. Military tribunals designed to hear charges have sputtered and stalled under lawsuits. The Supreme Court ordered the Pentagon to allow inmates legal challenges. The FBI complained about rough tactics by interrogators. But the suspects are still locked up tightly in a remote location clearly chosen to evade public notice and legal protections available on U.S. soil.
If these little rascals would don Al Qaeda uniforms and treat THEIR prisoners with respect then they would inherit Geneva Convention protection. The way they are conducting this war, we would be justified shooting them as spies.
Anyone who is inspired to particular outrage by Abu Ghraib or Gitmo (and they're not comparable, IMO) is an enemy of the United States.
What should inspire outrage are terrorist bombings in streets and markets and police stations, random rocket attacks against Israeli cities, serial assassinations of police officials in Mexico, rampant sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers, systematic slavery of South Asians by Saudis, the starvation of millions by the pathological regime in North Korea, genocide in the Sudan, etc.
Where are the SF Chronicle editorials on those?
To date, how many people have been beheaded at Gitmo?
They are not (for the most part) American citizens; therefore they have no claim on Constitutional protections,
They have, through their own machinations, placed themselves in a twilight world, a limbo where they have no protection and are subject to any treatment or mistreatment deemed necessary by their captors. They'd best be happy that Dubya makes the decisions and not me.

Sounds to me like they are suggesting we enforce the rules regarding un-uniformed "spies" and execute them all rather than have them suffer the hot meals and 5 a days. Harsh measures they are advocating.
No wonder the Army can't meet it's recruitment quota.
How about Chappaqua, NY right next to Bill & Hill
Well .. I'll agree to let the terrorists go .. if all the people who are whining about it were FORCED TO HOUSE THEM. I think that would shut them up really quick.
Just like the liberals were all for wind machines - until they found out that some practical people wanted to put them in the Kennedy's backyard.
The only twilight zone in this issue is that we keep these terrorists alive.
Under rules of war they should have been shot a long time ago.
We need to make that point repeatedly - the majority of these war criminals historically would have been shot. We are already giving them far more than they deserve by not killing them.
