While reading this article, I understand that their is alot of confusion, whether that the prisoners are being treated humane or not. Their has been several remarks made from the lawyers that prisoners are being held in their cells twenty four hours a day, not allowing them to make contact with each other. By doing this they are causing psychological damage to the detaines.
President Obama has ordered an inspection to be done right away. The report suggest that the prison is in accordance with the Geneva convention. The lawyers are suggesting that the prison was doing a clean up to impress those that was leading the investigation.
President Obama has made a statement that he hopes to close the prison within a year and that all prisoners be released. My concern is where will the prisoners be released. Will they release them here in the U.S. or will they take them back to there own country.

While it is deplorable that any human being would be subjected to unfit living conditions, I think that the Obama administration may need to get its priorities in order. I don't understand why the president is worrying about the living conditions of prisoners who have committed acts of terrorism than on the terrible living conditions that prisoners all over America have to endure. American prisons are severely overcrowded, and prisoners who committed much less severe crimes than the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay are forced to sleep, eat, and use the bathroom in severely cramped cells. To me, there is something wrong with that picture.
ReplyDeleteI think that those held at Guantanamo Bay should go to trial if they are guilty of a crime. Those that are not should be allowed to go home. Just because those people are being detained there does not mean they are all guilty. Some folks detained there were held for years and then set free for lack of evidence. Prisoners in American prisons at least have had the advantage of getting their day in court, they are at least (to the best of our knowledge)guilty of the crimes they are accused of. I dont think the same can be said of every single person held at Guantanamo Bay.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the first post....why be concerned with the living conditions of terrorist. Why worry about them at all? I don't believe in giving three meals a day, free medical care to those who have committed such crimes. If ones at Guantanamo Bay are guilty then put them on trial like everyone else.
