I don't understand how anyone could be pro-GTMO

You use logic like "we should be allowed to torture people so long as they're terrorists" but the fact is, we're not even sure all of them are terrorists. And even if they are, why are we scared to try them in here in the United States?

If the things that happen in GTMO are nothing to be ashamed of, then why oh why does are government have to do it overseas where they're out of their own jurisdiction? It's blatantly unconstitutional so they go places where the constitution doesn't apply.

Look, it's not like he's just gonna go "Okay, Guantanamo Bay is closed, all the prisoners are released, have fun kids!" No, he's gonna do something with him. Hard to say what right now, but that's why he's waiting a year to close it, so they can figure out what to do with the detainees.

Guantanamo Bay doesn't help protect us, our freedoms or anything we stand for. All it does is allow the government to do whatever it pleases outside the bounds of its own constitution, and if you've got to be a fool to believe that everything the government does is in your best interest.
