There can be dangers of just releasing them into the wild. However I have a feeling more terrorists will come out of there than went in to begin with. It is claimed they're holding all these jihadists, but how are we really so sure? If we're so sure they're terrorists or whatever you want to call them then why not put them in prison for a crime they've been convicted of?

Holding people indefinitely and torturing them are not the hallmarks of an honorable, lawful society but rather tenants of tyranny.

Now we have all these people who, even if they had done nothing wrong, have a very very good reason to hate America.

I don't think there is a solution can please everyone but I do know it is better than prolonging the insanity.

Also, it has this moniker of "secret prison". I guess I don't know what secret means then. I truly believe it's purpose is just to exist to pander fear and had no real goal of collecting information that could stop an attack, or harbor those that would attack.

Here's an analogy I thought of, although I take it many wouldn't agree. America is a like a drug addict and gitmo is one her poisons. She's gets a temporary good feeling from it, but in the end it will kill her. She realizes she should stop but is reluctant because she'll go through unpleasant withdrawls. Unfortunately it's time for us to sober up and endure any pains of the process as we will emerge better in the long run.

Edit: Oh yeah, and in case it didn't come through in my post: I'm darn glad it's getting shut down and applaud Obama!
