This is just a cheap excuse. If they are guilty, any other jail in the country would work perfectly
If they are found innocent in a trial, they should be at their home with a compensation. If this is not possible they could be offered the citizenship as a way to repair the injustice after a careful examination of each case. One case at a time
My bet would be that that keeping opened guantanamo with a stream of taxes is making somebody, somewhere really rich
- tootie 4y agoSeveral state governors pushed laws banning the transfer of terrorists into their prisons to prevent this.
- pvaldes 4y agoHow do they know if somebody detained forever without a trial is a terrorist?
- harvey9 4y agoAnyone transferred from Guantanamo to another prison will be deemed a terrorist - it's a political issue not a legal one.
- nradov 4y agoThey don't know that, but there is really zero political upside for any state governor to accept the transfer of any of those prisoners. It's not their problem.
- pvaldes 4y agoThen the problem is that the organizations "call to close", instead to join and "lobby to close". Guantanamo is a security hazard for the image of US just because it exists.
- TheCleric 4y ago> If they are guilty, any other jail in the country would work perfectly In theory you are 100% correct. In practice this would require authorization from Congress, and would never get passed for fear of having to campaign against "So-and-so put terrorists in your backyard." It's a perverse NIMBYism.
