The Closing of Gitmo
The very first thing I want to say is that this is a mistake. Where are you going to put the detainees? In the States? Our prisons are already overpopulated with criminals as it is. Obviously you don’t want them overseas or you would leave Gitmo open. Where are you going to put them? Are you going to try and assimilate them like we did with the Native Americans? Tell me, any of you are in favor, what are you going to do with the terrorists detained at Gitmo.
Next, why? I understand that bad things have happened at Gitmo, I’m not going to deny that. But prosecute the people who are committing the crimes, don’t close the whole prison! You want to use that logic? Okay, so Governor Blagojevic (or however you spell his name, the governor of Illinois) tried to sell the Senate seat. That’s illegal, and his was in an executive office, so the every single executive office in the United States government should be disbanded, all the people fired. If that’s not why you’re closing Gitmo, then why? Does it cost too much? I would almost bet that if you compared government expenses at Gitmo with another prison, it would cost a whole lot less. You know what happens when you go to prison? You get three square meals a day, cable television, and free exercise, not to mention a job through which you can make money! Does it make any sense? Why do you need to make money when the government is literally providing every single thing you need!? But that’s another discussion. I just don’t understand why you would close Gitmo. Well, that’s my spiel of the day. Hope you enjoyed.
