Shut down Gitmo after the scum terrorists are fed to the friggin sharks. Better yet, Send to Canada

One step back into the US and off to the sharks they go.

Unfair. Omar is only 20 years old. He was only 15 when this happened. If he was brought up in a very fundamentalist family then it’s clear that he was brainwashed. I cannot believe that Bush is this heartless. I cannot articulate because if I begin writing out what I feel, there will not be enough space.
Guantanamo Bay needs to be shut down ASAP. It’s inhuman not to feel anything after reading about what goes on in that place. I don’t understand what type of people run that place. They all have to be insane.

God Bless our beautiful and magnanimous and loving leader, George Bush. He personally appealed to these blood-crazed soldiers to put up their weapons so that this poor misguided A-rab could live. Through the generosity of His pure soul, Mr. Bush has given the former terrorist a new chance at a meaningful life. After he has finished confessing to everything they want him to, he will get to spend countless hours with his head strapped to a board and his eyes wired open (so that none of the “Program” will be missed). After that he will be as meek and submissive as a little lamb.
Report thisThen we can sell him to whichever senator or representative puts in the highest bid.
“Bark like a dog for me, Omar!” “Dark meat tastes best!” “Hands off Guckert/Gannon, I paid for this one with my own money!”

“After the invasion of Afghanistan, the Bush administration effectively kidnapped hundreds of innocent people because they looked like Arabs and shipped them to a detention facility designed to torture them nonstop and in perpetuity. If the president were tried in the Hague, the prosecution would have an easy case.”
... and all REAL Christians and other people of conscience can only hope that that trial comes soon. Somehow, though, I would have trouble even wishing on Bush / Cheney / Rumsfeld / Miller what they have done to these people.
