These detainees are not POW's. We refuse to classify them as POW's because if we did there are international agreements that we have pledged to honor on their treatment. Instead we call them detainees or combatants. Could detainees be subject to ongoing interrogation if they were in the US and not in Cuba? Why not? Perhaps it would require that they be in a military max security facility. I, however, severely doubt that any interrogation is going to produce useful information when these men have been locked up for over a decade already.
So you seem more reasonable and willing to engage in civil discussion. Tell me why you oppose closing Gitmo? Other than Obama supports the closing. |
Funny how liberals (not saying you are liberal) keep insisting that GITMO is a recruiting tool, and yet there has been no proof of that being true. But, keep repeating what Obummer keeps saying and someone might believe him. After all, look at how many believe Killary.
Apparenly, you haven't served in the military (that's your perogative) so you may not understand how valuable POW interrogation really is. Our gov has produced lots of valuable information from prisoners of GIMO, but it is not widely advertised.
So, if we close GITMO, the terrorists will no longer have a recruiting tool?
Why not close GITMO? Because we need somewhere away from our American citizens to cage any future POW's. We also need to be able to keep them away from the ACLU. Another reason is to keep them away from our American prisoners so that they don't convert more to Islam and to terrorism. Those reasons are reason enough, I believe. Besides, why give GIMO back to Cuba when they are not conceding anything to us? I believe that Obama has given enough away in the past seven plus years.
