Have you ever heard about the terms of Gauntanamo and enemy combatant? How much do you know about those terms? Do you know the U.S. Government arrested almost 1,000 people who were the suspects of the Al-Qaeda terrorists from the 42 different countries in this Camp? Do you know most of them were and will be released without being charged after detained for years or many years and of course without any compensation?
How do you think if some day, you guys as an American go to any place in the World and are arrested under the same accusation - the enemy of other countries and you must subject to the same practice?
The question is: how to resolve this shame situation and how to better this worst miscarriage of criminal justice system? Ask and tell yourselves, American people! Your fates are on your own hands and your choices!
Here is some information about Gauntanamo retrieved from wikipedia:
Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a cooperative military prison under the leadership of Joint Task Force Guantanamo since 2002.[1] The prison, established at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, holds people accused by the United States government of being terrorist operatives, as well as those no longer considered suspects who are being held pending relocation elsewhere. The detainment areas consist of three camps in the base: Camp Delta (which includes Camp Echo), Camp Iguana, and the now-closed Camp X-Ray. The facility is often referred to as Guantanamo, or Gitmo (derived from the abbreviation "GTMO").[2] [3] The detainees held by the United States were classified as enemy combatants.
Since the beginning of the War in Afghanistan, 775 detainees have been brought to Guantanamo, approximately 420 of which have been released. As of August 9, 2007, approximately 355 detainees remain. More than a fifth are cleared for release but may have to wait months or years because U.S. officials are finding it increasingly difficult to line up places to send them, according to Bush administration officials and defense lawyers. Of the roughly 355 still incarcerated, U.S. officials said they intend to eventually put 60 to 80 on trial and free the rest.
