<<<The Bush administration asserted that Guantánamo Bay, located in Cuba, was beyond the jurisdiction of US law and they invented a new legal term for Guantánamo prisoners - “enemy combatants” – for whom the Geneva Conventions and international human rights law did not apply. Guantánamo Bay really did create a “legal black hole” in close proximity to the US mainland. >>>

Well lets at least be clear about the issue, Bush indefinitely detained these people, and Obama hasn't freed them yet.

about right?

This is against the values of what America should stand for. In the old america these guys would get the public trial and hanging they deserve. Instead we try to hide them and pretend they dont exist.

I feel like after the recession Americans have gotten our attitude back. Our swagger back. Its time for our government to reflect that. Pussies.

lol breh old america was as fukked up as it is today ..does the internment camps for japanese americans ring a bell? ummm slavery..umm death squad operations all around the world?? :skip::skip::skip:

First do you think Romney would have freed them or are you just venting at the whole system?

On a forum that typically argues everything Democrat is right and everything Republican is wrong....I attempt to point out that both political parties are equally corrupt. Until Americans begin thinking for themselves our political discussion will continue to be a pointless pissing match between people who claim to be Democrats or Republicans, but don't even understand the basics of their proclaimed ideology.

After the Cuban Revolution, President Dwight Eisenhower insisted the status of the base remained unchanged, despite Fidel Castro's objections. Since then, the Cuban government has cashed only one of the rent checks from the U.S. government, and even then only because of "confusion" in the early days of the leftist revolution, according to Castro. The remaining un-cashed checks made out to "Treasurer General of the Republic" (a title that ceased to exist after the revolution) are kept in Castro's office stuffed into a desk drawer. The United States argues that the cashing of the single cheque signifies Havana's ratification of the lease &#8212; and that ratification by the new government renders moot any questions about violations of sovereignty and illegal military occupation.
