no Id rather see us leave and move the military/Navy facilities for ship repair to the states. I have no opinion to give on the terrorists held on the base

Frank Griffin

yes Who would you rather have... Our lost government or some emotionally charged interest group that doesn't have a clue about meeting in the middle?

yes That's a poor question because Guantanamo Bay is already a legal, legitimate U.S. controlled territory. No one BUT the U.S.A. should have any say, whatsoever. A better question might be what are the valuable reasons for having that base, not who should have a say.
