I agree that these people are war criminals, not common criminals. The basic problem, as I see it, is that we have a president in office, who has absolutely no military experience.

I have a big question. Why the president cares so much about these criminals? He has enough room in the white house for them, just an idea!!!! They belong out of the U. S. A.

I agree that these people do not have the right to be treated as common criminals. They are war criminals and should be treated as such. As was mentioned before, someone needs to stand up and take the lead in this fight. GITMO is where they belong and should be tried by military tribunals!! Where are the people with the guts to start the ball rolling on this?? Will you take the lead Senator Bennett?? These war criminals do NOT belong in our federal prisons!!

These jokers aren’t terrorists, they are patsy suckers which allows the true terrorists to send Americans off to war to die… As nothing more than a distraction to keep idiotic Americans from looking at who is and was actually responsible for 9/11. All the while the U.N. continually erodes American freedoms. This whole process is just a disgusting cover-up which is costing life, liberty, and certainly… happiness. DO THE RESEARCH! Open your eyes and get out of America, she’s a sinking ship and it’s all been planned by the Illuminati.

Pete: No one is afraid of what these murderers have to say on the stand. Our laws protecting our citizen criminals allows them to be provided with all information relevent to the case in which they are involved. You’re missing the whole point. If they are allowed to have that information (at our expense), they and their lawyers (also at our expense)are allowed to present it at the trial or pass it along to anyone who they say has relevence. This includes all military strategies and intellegence gathering methods (informant names, interrogation techniques, misinformation, etc.) Quite a source of information for terrorist organizations, don’t you think? Historically, these people are combatants and handled by military tribunals and they are not allowed the same rights as the American criminals because of their attacks on America and American holdings. This method should continue. I don’t agree with the reported physical torture as an interrogation method, but intimidation, embarassment and imprisonment are quite a bit less severe than their method of beating the hell out of our people and then beheading them.

Mike see comment 4. Gitmo’s recruiting strength for AQ should probably be measured in the hundreds of billions given how much we have to spend in response to each recruit. Illinois being pork is probable, but that is less than what we spend in Iraq and Afghanistan on any given day. The important part is to close gitmo and to treat these people under our laws as opposed to acting like scared school-girls and giving AQ more fodder to gain new recruits by convincing people we don’t follow our own rhetoric about the rule of law.

Sounds tough all right. But no one in the party is stepping up to lead. It’s like all of you have accepted the fact that he’s going to get his way on everything and are waiting until the balance of power tips the other way, That’s not going to happen. Never have we had such blatent, arrogant, liberal, lying people with as much power as we have today. The voters bought it all–lock, stock and barrel, to borrow a cliche’.
Someone’s got to get a set and stand up and lead.

What is the logic in making another prison into a Gitmo. I think the only reason is the amount of money he can give to his home state and all those people that will make millions.

Gitmo is the best advertising campaign AQ could dream of. This is not rocket science. If you are afraid of what these losers have to say on the stand, I have to wonder if you really believe we are right. I do. I am unafraid of what Ted Bundy, or Terrorists, or any other murderer have to say on the stand.

By treating these guys as criminals we GIVE THEM EXACTLY THE STAGE AND OPPORTUNITY THEY DESIRE TO PROPAGATE MORE TERRORISM ON OUR OWN SOIL!!!! I, personally, am not afraid of keeping them where they are (GITMO). I wish more Americans would understand that this proposal just empowers these WAR CRIMINALS and it WILL CHANGE the WAY WE DO BUSINESS!!! Please deny OBAMA the funding and STOP THIS ACTION!
