What is it with the world and Gitmo? They are possessed by it. Gitmo is the most cleanly run prison on Earth. Even Carlos the Jackal imprisoned in France is suing the French government because he says he does not have conditions as good as the Gitmo terrorists.

It's less of a prison than the rest of the island.

LOL, the problem is the legal status. I´d rather see them convicted for membership in a terrorist organisation by a regular court. That´s the least one could charge the inmates with.

Do you really not get it? Regardless of how clean and perfect and neat and tidy and well treated the prisoners are Gitmo saps American of its moral authority.

Gitmo is a PR nightmare and even the President knows it.

It symbolises the antithesis of what America stands for in freedom, justice and the rule of law.

I understand the logic behind Gitmo, but think it has caused more harm than it has helped in the WOT.

I have seen Freepers post that giving the enemy a propaganda victory is akin to treason. You will have to search far and wide to find a better propaganda tool than Gitmo.

Gitmo is Ribbentrop looking up Concentration Camp in the Encyclopedia and the definition being British use in the Boehr Wars.

It seems to me that she's very clear in what she says. The 'of course' is added for emphasis.

"Its end may of course not lead to renewed terror threats"


So, what she's saying is, "Its end may not lead to renewed terror threats." It could, certainly the potential is there, but it also might not. Very Kerry.
