A big "Hell No!" to this idiocy.

I have no problem putting enemy combatants in a place like Guantanamo Bay, but there's no legal justification for putting U.S. citizens there. If the government crosses that line, it's only a matter of time before people like the Bundy family and others who are facing criminal prosecution for their actions on Federal lands will be labeled as "terrorists" and sent there to vanish.

“...the concept of sending an ISIS-inspired, lone wolf attacker caught on US soil -
— to Guantanamo would almost certainly trigger an immediate legal challenge, since SCOTUS has never had an opportunity to address such a scenario.”

“But the prospect of lengthy litigation could undermine Trump’s own goals by inviting greater judicial scrutiny of the detainee program as a whole — not to mention the fact that he could lose a court fight and the suspect would walk.”

Above from the article, it’s not as easy as it seems

As Hussein Obama's illegal actions are examined, it will likely be found that Hussein is NOT even an American citizen. As someone who has aided Muslim terrorists in many parts of the world, Hussein can easily be labeled a Muslim terrorist.

If Hussein Obama is convicted of treason, should he spend the rest of his life in Gitmo OR should we just hang him for treason?

I would be ok with it if they were captured as enemy combatants... but they really should stand trial and be executed.

No US citizens should be in gitmo except as a guard.
