yes First, I agree this is poorly worded. The US utilizes the Bay as a bulwark for influence in the Caribbean, a terrorist detention center, a refugee holding place, and premier naval base. If Cuba can only think of it as a future museum, then it's probably for the best the US make use of the territory.

no The US has already done imeasurable damage. History has already shown what happens when the US have a voice in shaping GITMO!

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
