Pandering to the far-left loons who supported him is more important than our national security.

Because the people who open it kept this prisoners in violation of the law. Why do people want Obama to continue breaking the laws?

Now, now. The Great O has to undo all the Evil Bush has done. He will give those poor boys in Gitmo their rights and freedoms. I’m sure they have learned their lesson and will promise never to be mean to us again.

Any non-US citizen (and terrorist) are not covered under out Constitution! I don’t get why we didn’t just kill this guy.

Capture him, get as much info as he will give and then kill him.

Glad to see that your mind is free of reality, aswell as the ability to reason.

Your head is a scary place.

This is why all these people will be given fair trials, because not all of them belong there.

Do you really want to waste more tax dollars funding a prison camp that’s detaining people that may not even be guilty? Personally I’m happy to see that these people will be given trials, it’ll give us the ability to throw the actual bad guys in jail and prevent our military from abusing powers.

We have what’s known as the Constitution. If the government charges someone with a crime and can prove it, then they can deny the person his/her liberty. Otherwise, there’s no basis to hold them indefinitely. Gitmo is a national disgrace.
