Guantánamo prison 'could close quickly' if Britain takes inmates

Fair point... i am happy for the UK and others (prob just uk though) to take them if it means that this absolute abomination of a "camp" "prison" or whatever you'd like to call it, will be closed.

It's an absolute disgrace that it was ever allowed in the first place.

No i shouldn't.... Unlike the rest of the world, i do NOT bow down to what America thinks, wants or demands....

Bush should not NEED the rest of the world to be demanding the closure of the prison, Bush should not need to shrug his problems off to the rest of the world.

The UK doesn't need Americas problems.

Yeah, we are demanding it's closure because of it's inhumane conditions and the fact that none of it's inhabitants has been given access to a fair trial, or fair laws for that matter.

And don't even get me started on the fact that since the U.S. created this horrible situation in the first place it isn't your choice, it is your RESPONSIBILITY to clean it up, not to fob it off on other countries just because our corrupt former politicians were having a little man-love with Bushy-boy.

And yet you want America to do just that for you, or whomever else.





And yet here you are...



What a waste of time this is....

No I want America to admit to its own mistakes and problems and STOP passing on the buck.

You dared to insult my intelligence, yet it seems basic logic is beyond your grounds of understanding.

Just because the corrupt US government says they are it doesn't mean its true.Many prisoners have already been released after their innocence was established.Yet before that the belief was that they were guilty without a shadow of a doubt.



America has protested over many things in the past and have not dealt with the aftermath.So don't go pointing fingers,you'll just end up looking...well,like you are.

Kryties has already pointed out the fact that we have been asked to take some prisoners,so why should we butt out? The request from America has to be answered does it not?


Edited to add:And lets not forget that plenty of Americans have protested too,it isn't just people from other countries.

Again you are missing the point.

Bush is only trying to pass these people off because everyone is demanding he close the prison. I don't agree with him at all in doing so.

In my opinion, they should stay right where they are…in GITMO.

Sadly it does….one of my points though is that Bush should not have asked that in the first place. If other countries would stay out of our business (they way they ask us to stay out of theirs) then we wouldn't be in this position. The prisoners would be left alone like they have been for years.

And that says it all for me... absolute ignorance.

You would rather lock people up without trial, reason or a right to be heard??

Riiiiiiiiight. Inhumane.

They eat three religiously correct meals a day. They have better medical care then they have ever had in their lives. They are provided all their religious needs including their holy books which they themselves flush down toilets.

Here - you can get yourself a copy of the recipies that are used for the terrorists in GITMO ... yes, feeding them Baked Tandouri Chicken Breast, Mustard-Dill Baked Fish, Lyonnaise Rice, and Fish Amandine is sooooooo inhumane!

Newsflash - The Red Cross visited GITMO and said it definately is NOT inhumane.

Inhumane is what the terrorists were doing to innocent people before they got locked up in GITMO.


If you people would MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS and leave the terrorists in GITMO then there wouldn't be anything to 'clean up'.

So shut up and leave the terrorists in GITMO otherwise stop being hypocrites and take them to your own back yard.


Because the only reason you are being asked to take them is because you whined about GITMO being there in the first place. If you hadn't whined, then you wouldn't be asked.

It's not that hard to comprehend.

That makes absolutely no sense. So if a country is opposed to a prison that houses people who aren't even convicted of a crime, they should open up one of their own?



They're terrorists even though none have been tried for terrorism or even charged? What about the numerous "terrorists" who were found to not even be guilty of terrorism?



Or how about we do something called put them to a "trial" to see if they're terrorists or not, and then we could actually have a reason to hold them?

Even the FBI noted some of the torture methods being used there.

www.guardian.co.uk...

Wouldn't you consider locking someone up for the rest of their lives for absolutely no criminal charges against them as inhumane?



What were they doing? I'm interested in your evidence that not even the US goverment has provided yet.

Internment has been outlawed in civilised counties for many many years

so why does the USA still practise it?

why does the USA feel the need to build concentration camps?

why is the USA building mobile life reduction units ? (thread also in breaking news)

I don't go around doing anything. And I never said I condoned a lot of what Bush has done.

But great job assuming!



How incredibly eloquent. Thanks for you contributions.

Because they are above the law.... were you not aware?

They're also kept locked in cages... No privacy, mundane routines, systematic 'interrogation', and in some cases torture....

You are one of the most ignorant people I have ever come across, I'm sad to say.

From www.news.com.au...



From www.smh.com.au...



From news.bbc.co.uk...



So, are you describing some version of the word 'humane' that I was previously unaware of? Or are you deliberately ignoring the abuses?



You got a reliable source on that or are you just pulling that out of your rear end?




If you want us to stay out of your business, how about you get the *snip* out of the rest of the world's business eh? Deal?

God forbid the terrorists not have their privacy and exciting routines!
