Relocation just a ruse
The moving of Guantanamo detainees is confusing to me. Isn’t the problem we have with what is going on in Guantanamo not a geographical one, but a legal one?
It is my understanding that the American people want the base closed because it is detaining people without due process of law and legal representation for indefinite periods of time. Scattering these people around the globe to other prison camps and cells does not change nor address this problem.
This feels like, yet again, another smoke-and-mirrors game the administration is playing so they can say they came through on yet another campaign promise – irresponsible of the billions it will cost the American taxpayer and the fact that it will accomplish nothing to address the real issue.
