no They are very heartwarming and interesting, but those people were not responsible for what's happened there since 9-11

no not unless you also want to hear how great of a time i had living "on base" at Dachau while i was serving the German army while jews were being baked to death during WWII!! IT'S THE SAME THING.

yes Time spent in GTMO surrounded by an implacable enemy gives you a different perspective on life and political systems. I doubt that many former residents are pro-communist. Our story needs to be told, too.

yes Yes-current news only portrays a place that is evil and should be closed. However, Gitmo is a living, breathing, vibrant community that provides a vital security function in that area. I was lucky to be a part of that community for 2 years in the 60"s!
