Guantanamo

David M. Herszenhorn writes an article in the Times about Guantanamo Bay and Obama's new plan. On Wednesday, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to cut from a war spending bill $80 million that was requested by Obama to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. However, now they plan to transfew the detainess to the United States and its territories. The problem is that we don't want to be responsible for these potential criminals, yet we don't want them running around our neighborhoods either. Obama is also trying to rid the dentainees to other countries, basically so they wont be our problem.

Selling our fugitives to other countries, I think, is the only solution, and there for a good idea. Realistically they will be fine if kept in the U.S. but the citizens probably wouldn't be too cool with that. We have enough problems as it is so I think other countries would be willing to hold these criminals for us. Besides, I'm sure they want them to be kept safe and know where they are.
