In February 2016, President Obama sent Congress a plan to close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The U.S. took over control of Guantanamo Bay after the Spanish American war in 1903 under the Cuban-American Treaty of Relations. The treaty specifies that the U.S. controls the territory while Cuba retains sovereignty. In January 2002, the U.S. military set up a detention center to hold terrorist suspects after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

No - and the individuals held there should be processed under military 'trial' and either freed or executed - 'rehabilitation' is not possible within the Islamic radical belief system.
@4GSYRDL3yrs3Y
No and use torture to get information we need. They do it to us.
@4GQ2RLM3yrs3Y
No, it should be converted into a special prison for terrorists but with full adherence to the Geneva Convention.
@superbananas3yrs3Y
Yes, most of the people held there aren't even terrorists and were sent there because the Syrian government could recieve a monetary reward if they gave the U.S. "terrorists".
@4GLBPL83yrs3Y
Keep it open so that U.S. penetentiaries aren't targeted by terrorists, but remove current rules allowing torture and afford detainees due process. Upholding the Geneva Convention in spite of an available loophole is the right thing to do
@PepperflyLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, but Geneva Convention law should apply to U.S. territories and detainees should be given expeditious due process.

@4GMSSGY3yrs3Y
We can have a base in Cuba, just not an "anonymous interrogation location".
@4GM2VMB3yrs3Y
No, and stop sending these terrorists back to resume their murderous paths.

The death penalty is more humane than prison
@4GLMZ6L3yrs3Y
The facility not located on US soil is potentially preferable to a detention facility in the states, but the tactics employed at Guantanamo violate basic human decency and should be banned.
@4GJS3H83yrs3Y
No, but the methods within the prisons should be changed and not allow you to essentially commit war crimes
@4GJCLQF3yrs3Y
Closing GTMO and moving it to Fort Leavenworth would increase my employers profit margin positively. Either way it really doesn't matter to me
@4GSWXYB3yrs3Y
No, and stop making it a 4 star hotel
@4GNHS3P3yrs3Y
No, because it's a form of getting information to keep Americans safe, but mental test should be given to those put in charge of getting the information out of prisoners.
@4GJCQRL3yrs3Y
Prosecute them already and be done with them/it
