...in the longer term, to quote her correct. I agree with her, Gitmo is dirt on the white vest of the US. We have differences, nobody says that under Merkel Germany behaves as Americas 51st state. But we´ve no longer a climate of distrust. Merkel supports the war on terrorism more than Schröder did, and having lived behind the iron curtain she knows that freedom is not for free. Merkel is trustworthy.
Oh, NOW YOU CAN LEAVE!! EURO TRASH!! AND DON'T COME BACK!!
Ok, now you are stepping over the line. I'll be nice since I know you aren't from here, and if you're like most Germans my brother met on his trip over in '03, you're getting your news from a flawed source(s). The Americans who are serving at Gitmo have behaved honorably. In MY opinion, the majority of terrorists being held there, once they have outlived their intel usefulness, should be executed. Instead they are well-fed and housed and given medical attention.
It's a hell of a lot easier to sit over there across the pond and criticize how someone else does the work than to actually get off your butts and do it yourself isn't it??
What would be the substitute for Gitmo?
You believe propoganda? What a shame.

Ich bin fuer Verteidigung!
Mrs. Merkel is a big improvement on her predecessor. However, let's put this simply - I (and I think most of my colleagues on this site) simply don't care about the rights of terrorists. If people belong to an organisation or a religion that wants to persecute or kill people of other faiths, get me a can of petrol, some rope, a stake and a set of matches because we're having a cookout.
Gitmo is the least they deserve.
