Guantanamo Prison : A curse or Cure?

One of the poll promises of President Obama challenging that the horrendous Guantanamo Bay Prison in Cuba was contently signed. The executive orders were signed in a standing ovation on January 22, 2009 for the closure of horrendous secluded prison, within a year. It sends a message of significant profundity, when President Obama said,” United States will not torture”.

Guantanamo Bay Prison in Cuba was the first steps of detention policies of terror suspects of former regime of President George Bush. The total detainees were 779 and 533 were transferred and there are 241 and other five are reported to be dead.

The immediate question is on the time factor when these terror suspects will be tried and punished if found guilty. Why the terror suspects should be languishing in an isolated remote place? The punishment of reprisal when the truth has not been established beyond doubt is against convention.

Punish those culprits according to law and release the innocent detainees is common voice of many of the international Human Rights Activists and they have a distinctive and collective cry.

This article may sound that the writer is in support of terrorists. This write up is collective information derived from different source, whose voices are the same.

The government concerned must take appropriate action to bring to the light who are the guiltiest, what are the fair trial and if there guiltless, set them free after an appropriate courts’ directions.

The subject runs into several research papers and the following quotes is an excerpt from authority and is noteworthy:

President George W. Bush asserted that detainees were not entitled to any of the protections of the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld on June 29, 2006 that they were entitled to the minimal protections listed under Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. Following this, on July 7, 2006, the Department of Defense issued an intern-a memo stating that prisoners would in the future be entitled to protection under Common Article 3”

This would mean perhaps that the detainees are subjected to a number of subhuman conditions. Desecration of the Holy Quran and detainees held in nudity and exposed to guarding women soldiers are invariably reported.

Does it mean desecration of Holy scriptures of any faith and detainees subjected nudity in full view of women soldiers on guard and in turn they deriding them as the records accessible!

Let the justice play a major part, “do or die”,.

“Justice delayed is Justice denied”

Daniel,

Even if the Guantanamo Bay detainees are about to be transfered, the immigration problem poses to the receiving countries. Detainees are undeergoing inhuman torture.

Each new disclosure about Guantánamo Bay seems like a never-ending nightmare. A 13 year old and a 90 year old man imprisoned in Guantánamo Bay? How much more worse can it get...?

Hamid,
Recorded reports are accessible that the detainees are deprived from sleep and not allowed to recite the scripture.

What's unfortunate is that the many innocent people who have been held in Guantanamo have now been radicalized. They might never have thought about committing terrorist acts before, but now they'd like nothing better than to take revenge against the evil bastards who tortured them.

It's sad how many support holding people without a trial. It goes against everything this country was founded on.

Brooke,

The estimated time frame to close the Gauntanamo Bay Prison is around one year.

The trial has to begin and there is good hope that justice will prevail.

This is uncivilized and barbaric. Everyone who is involved needs to be punished.

You don't understand. If we don't take away civil rights, create a police state, and torture people to death then the terrorists win.

John,
Terrorism is worst form of war against innocents. They played with their lives.
Let them be proved that they are terrorists beyond doubt and let them have punishment according to the law.

While it is not clear who is terrorist,
how could innocent detainees be held responsibility to go untold torture.

See the film Castro does not want you to see. A film shot unauthorized in Cuba by American filmmakers, see Cuba “in the raw” as you follow this love story through the streets of Havana, you see the condition of the Cuban people as they suffer under communism.

I felt sick to my stomach when I read this. We are supposed to be the guys in the white hats. The good guys. What has happened to us?

Tom,

What you have felt,President Obama has felt the same a year ago. As poll a promise,this is his first step to close the prison.

Please watch his one of the video speeches in which he says,”U.S.A will not torture”
