Obama wanted to close Gitmo. Will Biden be able to finally do it?

MY COMMENT:

Poppycock. Nonsense. The 40 or so unlawful combatant Isamists left at the US military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are lucky to be alive, let alone 10 of them enjoying virtually the SAME rights you or I would enjoy in a US federal court of law, which is absurd. According to the Geneva Conventions and Law of War, unlawful combatants are entitled to absolutely ZERO rights of any kind. The only reason they are still alive is due to the benevolence of the United States, who, in 2002, declared they would be "treated within the spirit of Geneva." Then the Military Commissions Acts of 2006 (under George W. Bush) and then 2009 (under Barack Hussein Obama) gave those accused of war crimes virtually the SAME rights US citizens enjoy in federal court. Unprecedented. And so is the time it has taken to prosecute them. 731 detainees have already been RELEASED, and NONE have been executed, beheaded, blown up, hacked to death, dragged naked and lifeless through the streets, drowned or burned alive. All things our enemies have done to US and/or our allies. There is no moral comparison between Gitmo and how our enemies treat their captives. 30 percent of those released have returned or are suspected of returning to the fight. Gitmo is a small piece to the big puzzle of how we WIN the Global War on Terror, which is ongoing. It must also remain open in case of any high value detainees in the future. It is the most secure detention facility in the world. Sincerely, MAJ (RET) Montgomery J.
