AMNESTY International has renewed its call for the US to close its Guantanamo Bay detention facility and try or release the prisoners held there.

I fully agree with this. It needs to be done as soon as the war is over.

I agree with your assessment. Guantanamo should be closed.
If these were people captured in Afghanistan, they should be tried there. This whole enemy combatant thing is ridiculous.

You are either guilty of a crime or not. If not, let them go. If yes, then be tried in a court and get a sentence.

To send them to a detention center in Cuba to get out of applying US law is nothing more than human rights violations. I am sure the hawks would quickly argue that is necessary until they find that their civil rights are violated.

It is a really sad state of affairs.
