Attorney General Eric Holder visited Gunantanamo Bay, Cuba on monday. This place has been the center of controversy for a while now, nationaly and internationaly. While Bush was in office, there were many stories of prisoners who were being mistreated. So with Obama elected President, he said that he would shut that place down. It hold over 200 prisoners who are suspected of being terrorits.
I think that it is about time that we shut it down. It is one of the worst places that you might end up, and the place pretty much takes away your rights that have. We talk about equal rights to everyone, but the officers are taking away those rights as soon as they walk through the door. They may be terrorists but they have rights, we all are intitled to them, but you can't take away their right to a lawyer, and a right to a jury. They should be tried in court and if they are found guilty then apportiate action should be taken. Even if Guantanamo Bay ins't even on U.S. soil, the facility is still U.S. opperated.
