yes Although at one time, I lived on the Gitmo base, I do believe that Americans tax dollars would be better spent providing health care and education here than maintaining military hegemony around the world. Also, no prison should exist outside the norms of both international and U.S. law. Read less

yes Once it was a basic principle to return to its legal owner, add to that, the US need to clean its tarnished image around the world. Most important is to end the Taliban/ISIL recruitment magnet. Read less

yes I cannot believe the comments on this blog... how can u dehumanize the prisoners of Gitmo? Gitmo may be a hell; but the prisoners are not evils. if we can confront to our bad parts and try to make them better then we don't need any black holes. Don't look for evils at outside, they're inside of us.. Read less

no Absolutely not, if GMTO is returned then where will the terrorists being held there go? I do not want any known terrorist in custody to be returned to US soil. Not to mention it is far to close to the US to remove presence considering Cuba is not an American allies. Read less

Are we 110% sure that we are being told the whole truth about our involvement in the affairs of other countries? Has anyone ever considered the fact that WE are in fact the bullies? Read less
