A promise to shut the Guantanamo Bay torture camp is proving rather more difficult for Barack Obama in office than on the election trail, because so far, nobody can tell what to do with the camp's inmates.

I THINK THE DETAINEES WOULD ADAPT WELL TO RUSSIAN LIFE, AND AS SUCH RUSSIA SHOULD MAYBE HOUSE SOME OF THEM IN MOSCOW.

What is exactly a Gitmo convict? A convict can only be produced by a due process of law that delivers a conviction. The illegally imprisoned at Gitmo concentration camp, could be suspects, but cannot be convicts, because they have not been though the due process of a trial and subsequent conviction.. What is interesting here, is the way the story goes, it is similar to the many on a watch list are innocent story, when indeed all that are on a watch are innocent, unless some of them have also been through the due process of a trial and subsequent conviction to prove guilt. The whole labelling has been created by the west, to take their regimes to a next level, that is one of guilty as chosen. They decide who should be guilty without the basic norms of legal civilisation, then incacerate them, based on their arbitary and politically driven decision on guilt. The title is legally wrong, but reflects prefectly the legal basis for the wests operations, a totally illegal one, under any notional concepts of a state that respects law. Quite simply the US does not respect the rule of law, and that is eveident from its medieval notions of justice. Time to move to the 21st century, if you can!

GITMO illegal prison should be closed for good, and the land handed back to Cuba. It would not bother me in the least if the GITMO illegal inmates where housed in a maximum security prison near my home, providing they were given the trial needed to prove their innocence or guilt. The United States citizens should be ashamed of a policy that allows this to continue and a government so corrupted it blocks the halting of such illegal activity.
