I can’t believe this figure for even a second...
Guantanamo is not a fancy facility - it’s quite simple. I don’t believe we pay a lease. It is staffed by U.S. military who would be paid if they were sitting at a CONUS base, sitting in the sandbox, or sitting at Guantanamo. It is secured by US Military - same thing.
I can’t believe the military tribunal system would cost that much either.
Smells like politically motivated BS to me. Seems like I remember the Bush administration saying Guantanamo was cheaper that a Federal prison many years ago. I might not remember that correctly, but I have always believed Guantanamo was a cheaper alternative. The defense attorneys would bleed the taxpayers out on these enemy combatants if they were incarcerated on our soil.
As i understand it there are a lot of prisoners on hunger strikes. At $900,000 per terrorist I say allow the hunger strike to follow it’s natural course.
I couldn’t care less.
I do not want them on American soil for any reason.
How is it even remotely possible that the USA has a military facility in a communist country that is and has been openly hostile to us?
Let that sink in.
Execute them all and shut it down!
Make liberals happy. Release all these terrorists. 50 miles off shore.
That’s about the same as the per-student cost of the unionized Chicago Public Schools.
[[Guantanamo camp burns through $900,000 a year per inmate]]
Wghiel Senior Citizens and disabled peopel and veterans have to get by on as little as $10,000 a year-
Yep- we’ve got our priorities straight-
I could solve that problem with a buck or two worth of ammunition per prisoner...
