Should the prisioners being held in Cuba by the US be released?

I feel those imprisoned in Cuba should be able to plead a case in some kind of military tribunal or something. If there is evidence that the individual has direct ties to terrorism, keep em locked up.  By just setting them all free, you're gonna have some really pissed off middle eastern men with ties to terrorism with a huge grudge trying to get back at America and that cannot be a good thing.

What do you do when one of your family member is/was an illegal? I could not allow myself to turn my back to them. Please! I love the USA but family is family.\nP.S: Your posts bother me. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjTIu7xafN6ffIFbDrTexa_sy6IX?qid=20060616085947AAQnfzd\n\nWho says that? Do you honestly think that Cubans can't be illegals?  Well they can. I am ashamed for you. Of all people YOU should know how bad it is in other places. Cuba? Yeah, many people have even died trying to escape the horrors like Fidel Castro - dictator of Cuba. Do you feel proud of yourself when saying "Build enough prisons to hold them and incarcerate them. When their time is up: deprt them." "NAH! HANG 'EM HIGH! - Your idea seems the most logical." \n\nYou are a disgrace.

dont go there. havana is your only chance to 'live' (stay alive) somewhere. theres a reason theyre trying to exile to the usa. try puerto rico, easy to get to cuba from there.

yes they should get a lawyer, and I believe they should be charged with something or released

I really could not care any less about the prisoners at Gitmo. They are illegal combatants and by all international laws, could just as legally been executed. That we've not only spared their lives, but treated them with more respect than they deserve, shows our generosity.\n\nIf they choose to hang themselves, these people who would think nothing of sawing your head off or blowing up your children, I do not see a problem.

Ha, ha, I'd pay to see an American president admit America was wrong over Cuba. The US will continue to be a baby and never admit they were wrong...how un-American!

I would say they are more than likely doing that...all the facts point that way. they certainly are teating them in a way that would otherwise contervene US law if they were kept on home soil...otherwise why bother with all the secrecy??

well from past experience they are only allowed to be released for work and thats it if they was found not at work they would get escape charges aginst them so id advise not to let them come home just go see them at work

I think Fidel's brother Raul is still hanging around. The Cuban Politburo might just go for him.

they should not be here in the first place. They should be held and charged for trespassing, sent packing back across the border and leave everything behind and taking their welfare babies with them!\n GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Actually I think each and every elected member of the House of Representative that believes in closing Gitmo should take a prisoner home with them for "proper" incarceration.  \n\n....hide the knives, saws, and axes.

Yes.\n\nPeople are held there without trial.  They are not given any legal rights including the right to know why they are being held, the charges against them, the length of time they have to stay there, or the right to defend themselves with proper legal process.\n\nOn top of that there have been numerous allegations of mistreatment and torture.\n\nSounds like a concentration camp to me.

I definitely think that they deserve a trial.  If they are found guilty, then something can be done with them, rather than detaining them indefinitely in prison.  If they are found innocent, then the country needs to make reparations to them for falsely imprisoning them for months/years.\n\nThere seems to be some sort of misunderstanding as to whether these people are POWs.  This is being litigated right now, but it is my instinct that they are not.  They were not captured on the battle field.  Many were ripped right out of their homes in the US.  This doesn't mean that they are innocent men and women, but it does make them the same as a person who is arrested for burglary, for example.  As a wartime president, Bush does not have the power to override the constitution.  The Supreme Court has held this time and time again.  They deserve a trial.

Cuba still lets the USA use Guantanamo bay as a Navy base, and the States had to ask and recieve permission to house prisoners there. I suspect there might be closer ties than either side admits. ?But then again I am just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

I am an American. Gitmo is too good to the prisoners as it is. They want to kill Americans and they get treated better than Americans in prison. Anybody that wants to close Gitmo or make it easier or let them go, here is a challenge: Let them come live with you and your family, I didn't think so. If you think they are treated badly, go there and take care of them personally, and after they kill you and yours we will say, told ya so. Get a life people our enimies want you dead too.  Why do you want them to kill Americans?

I would let them know they would eventually be caught via Forensics and they would suffer the rest of their lives in Prison. Something is always left behind.

Yes they should.\nThe embargo law is stupid (not to mention innefective since people still smuggle cuban cigars anyway, making them a luxury product) and prevents cigar fans from access to quality products.
