First day on the job and many Americans are upset with our new Mr.
President. Well, who can blame them? I choose this CNN article on the
possible closing of the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba because
it is the first decision he has made as president, and I do not agree
with him. Guantanamo Bay has been home to the most dangerous high- risk
terrorist since the attack on 9/11. These people are the ones that
plotted to kill thousands of innocent Americans because they did not
like us.
Another reason I choose this article is because it also talks about
Obama trying to end rough interrogations. In a perfect world, people
would not lie, and always tell the truth when asked a question. But this
is not a perfect world. Terrorists do not tell their information with a
simple please and thank you. I am not an advocate of physically abusing
a person to the point of death, but sometimes a person needs to be
roughed up a little to get the point and cooperate.
My question is, what does Obama plan to do with these high-risk
prisoners? Does he want to bring them into the borders of the United
States?
Do you agree with him? Do you disagree? Explain.

Over the past week or so there have been a lot of talks about the Guantanamo Bay Facility, I wonder why so? I mean its weird how i didn't really hear anything about the problems it supposedly poses earlier. As far as i knew its where the terrorists that were responsible for 9/11 were held. That is why i am interested to know why there is much focus on this subject.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is absurd that such a facility that has done well so far will be shut down. It houses some of the most dangerous and vicious terrorists. If Obama thinks that he is gonna bring those maniacs over to US shores than he is truly crazy. I believe the whole point was to keep them as far away as possible. The article mentioned something about reopening Alcatrez, I think that even there they would pose a threat.
