There was much has been in the media recently about the planned closure of the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The prison has these men, which the U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as "the worst of the worst known. A total of some 800 people were arrested or what it euphemistically calls most of the time stated, "at Guantanamo in the past 7 ½ years. In recent years, over 500 of these prisoners have been released about 229 people to leaveCurrently there instead. The focus is again on the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and as President Barack Obama wants to close the prison in late January 2010.
The big problem for the administration of President Obama is what to do with these last prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. Some commentators have pointed out that this movement will not deny prisoners to another U.S. prison camp the mistakes of the Bush administration, it also keeps the current negative view of it in many countriesthe world of the United States with regard to this prison. Were held from the 229 detainees currently at Guantanamo, about 60 of them have been cleared for an offense and set for release. A further 20 prisoners are currently with a crime, charged by the U.S. government. Between these two groups a further 150 prisoners who are to bring to justice or be released.
Certain people in the United States, including some members of Congress have clearly stated that "these terrorists should notin the United States. "This is an expansive statement as covering two cases. First, it means that nobody is ever in the Guantanamo Bay prison ever set foot on American soil, of course, including step, whereby, given any right to stay in the United States. Secondly, they are relating to all detainees at Guantanamo to be independent of the share (deleted either no fees or having served their time), or of being transferred to a state maximum security prison. The mentality isa "not in my backyard". An element of fear is injected through the labeling of any man held in Guantanamo as a terrorist. accurately and fairly assess the situation of both the public and the Congress have the following facts about the men that remind them held in the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. Of the total detained some 800 people per Guantanamo, over 500 of them were to be an "enemy combatant deleted" and released. Another 60 men were to be released, but they remainin prison. The reasons for not being released do not belong to their respective home countries, they want to return, and the U.S. do not find another host country for holding them or the U.S. government from being tortured them back to their homes because of the possibility of them, or a fear that by the U.S. government that the government will not see and control it. Only 26 people have had a crime that have been collected by the U.S. government, of the 800 prisoners in custody. InIn addition, there were only 3 people that have been previously convicted by military courts. One such belief was in fact made a confession of the accused after only one days of the test. This is despite millions of dollars and spent a large amount of time to review the evidence the government has issued.
What many people do not seem to recognize is that the United States was made for the arrest of only a fraction of the men responsible in GuantanamoBay. The Pentagon released documents show that U.S. troops captured only about 5% of them. A further 2% were captured by other coalition forces. This means that approximately 93% of the men were detained at Guantanamo Bay, supplied by other governments or individuals, the U.S. authorities. Following the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq by the US-led coalition forces, premiums of U.S. $ 5,000 received from the U.S. government for all, the "al-Qaida or Taliban murderers." Many offeredthe prisoners at Guantanamo, said their arrest was carried out either far away from the combat zone and / or they were made by a neighbor or a village for the money. This is a huge amount of money to people in these countries. The per capita income in Afghanistan is about $ 420 per year. Because so few of them were actually from the U.S. or coalition troops, the evidence and the reason for their arrest is caught in foreign government or person who gives them to oftenare no witnesses to the alleged war crimes, only a report from someone who later disappears.
All persons who have kept in detention the right to know what is going to pay and a fair trial. A fair trial should be timely and the defendant is presumed innocent until his guilt is proved. The rules for a U.S. study of men captured outside the U.S. should the laws of the United States, international treaties, entered the United States, andCustomary law. For all these reasons, the public needs a balanced perspective on these men are held at the Guantanamo Bay prison. It was never will be easy to prison because of the complex and integral calculus, as the Bush administration is set to reduce it. In accordance with fair trial, any person at Guantanamo Bay prison, until proven guilty. At the time of capture of most of these prisoners, many of the charges of terrorism did not exist innocent. These men are not the worst of theWorst. Most are not terrorists at all. Instead, they are innocent men who have the misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Where confessions were obtained through torture or coercion, they can not be used as part of the law, in any proceedings. Since this is the U.S. government including members of Congress who created or agreed to this quagmire, it is time that they are for what happened to these people responsible. This may be the admission of certain former prisonersto live in the United States when she was released from prison. It is time for most of these prisoners receive, with their lives.
