Nearly everyone you talk to these days wants to close Guantanamo, but few agree on what we should do with the roughly 150 remaining detainees.

The international community, represented by the British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith, wants to close Guantanamo but lacks any clear vision as to what to do with the inmates.

This should make a whole lot of folks happier than pigs in crap!

GO USA!

Supposedly, they come here and get full rights of due process, at our expense of course.

Send them across the Yucatan Straight to Cancun. Give them as much money to spend over there as we are spending to keep them in prison now. Everybody wins.

Gitmo serves its purpose. But, it's implementation is very odd.

For one, don't force feed them through a tube if they want to starve to death and meet their maker.

...and maybe stop giving them free health care and make them earn it by hard labor?

Shouldn't there at least be a trial before hard labor?

True. I guess my point was that they shouldn't get to sit on their butt, get slapped around, and then by some sort of sick irony get free MRIs out of the deal.

They have been incarcerated for years, held in violation of the Geneva Convention, not given the right to even challenge their detention and you're in favor of starving them too?

They are starving themselves by choosing not to eat and we are tying them down to chairs and feeding them olive oil through IV. Why infringe on their right to end their misery? To add insult to injury, why have the taxpayer fund that continuation?

They're terrorists. If they want to die, good riddance.
