  1. Should we be trying the prisoners at Guantanmo Bay Prison?
  2. If we shouldn't try them, what should we do with them? Is holding them indefinitely moral behavior?

They should just give Gantonamo more money to keep the prisoners there. They shouldnt let people go. Like it said in the article "if they let people go there will be dangerous people in the world" If they let them go they might come back there for doing something else and it would be putting people at risk of getting killed.

Why should we even try people held at Guantanamo Bay??????? They are soldiers of the enemy, if you let them out what do you think they will plan to do???? Continue the mission no matter what the cost. Yaaa, sure go ahead and let out the guys trying to kill you and your country for a hearing. And if you don't want to hold them any more for questioning you could let them ride the lighting, gas chamber, or lethal injection (if they plan to kill you, kill them first. It's all in self defense.).

no we should not be trying the prisoners at guantanmo bay prison.this is because if they are in this prison it is because they are extremly dangerous. so they should remain in the prison so nothing bad happens in other countries and the u.s.

I don't think we should have to try people at Gantonamo Bay prison. They are in prison for a reason they should not be let out. They might bring dangerous things to other people and maby to the u.s too.

There are too many physcos in this world. Some are seriously messed up, and even when brought to jail do not change their oppinion on killing or anything like that. These people should stay in jail if proven guilty. Never let someone out of jail for a certain reason. It's way to dangerous.

They should be tried i mean if they relly are enmy combatants there should be plenty of evidence against them to convict them.

From what i did understand i think they should definitely give them more money to keep them in jail. We shouldn't be trying them. That could be dangerous.

I think that they should keep the people in the prison, and just get more money. It would be worse for them to let the people go then to just give them more money. If they were to be let go then they would be out in the world again and more bad things would happen.

They should be supplied more money, so they don't have to release people early. Or, they should be moved to another prison so there arent criminals all over the place

People that get put in jail are there for a good reason, no matter what; they shouldn't be let out, unless proven innocent. I agree with Justin, if you let them out, there will be more dangerous peolpe in the world and we don't need anymore of those.

I think that they should get the money, but the prisoners should not be let out. They are in there for a good reason and letting them out into the world would be a huge mistake. If they are lettingthem out it is just creating more problems in the world.

I think it'd be a really stupid move to let people out of jail. Obviously, they belong in there for a reason, and if they didn't have a reason to be in there, they wouldnt be. So....whatever they're in there for.. they could do it again? sooo why would you let them out

I don't think we should be spending MORE money on guantanamo bay. They have been fine with the money provided. If the prisoner is in their for life i honestly think that we should just kill them. That souds kind of harsh i know, but i mean in a humane way like youthunization (the way they put down pets i have no idea how to spell it).

They should not let them go because tha prisoners at Gantonamo are more likely to try to escape and do patentionally bad things to our country.Also we shouldnt have to pay for people to be in jail because we dont know them and they are in there because they did something wrong they should pay for themselves.

If they let the people out then it might cause more problems down the road there will be more unnatural death and more crime in general.

They should be able to be tried because I'm certain somebody would spill it and tell a nation's secret. If Guantanmo has some nuclear bombs or is planning to help Iraq or what have you, I think we should know.

I beleive war crimes on our country should not go unpunished i think that with resonable evidence any one in guantanamo bay should stay there without a second chance in court

I agree with Eric. we should try them and interrogate them, because if they do have weapons, they will most likely tell us. However, we have to double check to make sure theyre guilty so we dont have another harold and kumar situation

I think that every person no matter what where or who should get a trial unless the person is of major significance like Adolf Hitler or Sadam Husain. Everyone could possibly be innocent even if they aren't the courts will just have to decide. If they are tried and found guilty we should give them a normal sentence but if they are innocent we should take precautions while releasing them back to where they were taken from. Holding someone indefinitely shows them no respect or acknoledgement of their humanity since it shows they can rot in there while waiting for their trial.

we dont know what they will do, and it could be something badd so it would be better off just keepin them in jail

LET THEM GO!!! These are prsoners of WAR people you do not just let them Go!!! ( although librals might think so) You keep them for our advantage, the more we have the less the enemy has, and depending on the crimes they did should be submited to the death sentence. They should not be happy when their there it is a prison make them hate it.

I agree with Justin that we should give more money to Guantanamo. We can't just let some of the worlds most dangerous people out and have them cause all sorts of problems and commit more crimes.

I think the prisioners should be placed on an investigation to distingish between the innocent and guily. (and to also lower the overall cost. less prisoners, less mulla.) Then, the guilty shoud deffinetly be placed in jail because there are too many kookoos in this world. Money should be raised and provided to suitably hold the prisoners.

and that movie with the is gautonamo bay pretty funny.

I agree with Justin. We should give Guantanmo Bay Prison more money but prisoners should stay there we don't need more danger in the world.

I agrue with justin we should keep paying gantonamo to keep the prisoners there as long as their guilty because letting them out is going to give us more problems and everyone would panic if we let them out, they could go on a killing spree.But we should give them a trial to make sure if their guilty or not. The punished shouldent go unpunished.

i think that what ever the people did to get into prison if they are guilty or not they were there when a crime happened and if it was a couincidence or not they still were there and if the people that are guilty they did something bad enough to get were they sre today then i think that if they do it again then they should be put back in but the first time if they like murdered someone then they should have so many years and then they be put back in again if it happenes twice but to have someone in a prison that long then they should have caused somthing to happen then they should be there and if not then what can we do to stop the government if they did enough to get there in the first place then they deserve to stay there but i still think that if the government needs to hlod someone for there entire life for something they did then there should be a law set down that defines all possibilities that a crime could happen and have a certian punishment for each one and then the court system eould be more fair to the victims and or the criminals. th government needs to come up with a system like that because if they dont then someone cold get blamed for something that they ahd nothing to do with and then the government would not have to make so many prisons because there would be half as many criminals and then there would be criminals and then they were supposed to be there in jail for half the tim so we would not have to have so many peolpe in jail and the government would not have to deal with this and then the country would not have to vote on it and then the supreme court would not be waisting so much time on useless thing like this and desiding when to give and how long to give a prison statement for the problem that i have brought is done good night everyone

i think depending on the criminals that are to be let out of the prison is what matters, some may be close to getting out anyways while others may not be as bad anymore.. but i guess paying more money for our overall safety may be okay..

we should get some money to keep these prisoners from being out in public or the government should transfer the people to other prisons that have less people. And it might help the people no get robed, or killed from thease inmates. DCarlos
