Everglades or Louisiana swamps both could make a great, and more localized, New Guantanamo.

| The U.S. base at Gitmo had one of the last big screen outdoor drive-in theaters.
Wonder if it's still there?

That was the original plan when "closing Gitmo" was introduced; to release them into the population....HERE!!!
Cuz technically speaking, they're innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers. So since there haven't been any trials, they'd be freed!
Yeah, think the public outcry won that battle.
Gitmo stays open.... |

| That's why they're all in Gitmo, Wiz....Cuz they can't hold them in the US due to our laws.
None of them have been formally charged yet. (Lack of Proof)
They're just holding them forever.....without proof, without trials, etc.
Closing Gitmo they'd HAVE TO release them according to our own laws.
Hence the whole outcry, debate, etc. |

So I have to wait for others to open up now. Just finding more ways everyday of how he is screwing me and I didn't know it. |

Hence the whole outcry, debate, etc. | The laws (pre OBAMA) would require the "suspects" to be charged as civilians, or combatants (terrorists) affiliated with a foreign government if held in the U.S. I think Obama's original plan was to transfer detainees to civilian prisons. Some states volunteered the services of their prison system, but most objected. But there is a problem with that. The current laws would not alloy the same "investigative" measures that can be performed outside our boundaries. Legal or not, Gitmo is out of sight/out of mind.
Many consider us to be "at war" with terrorists. Our government has wanted to have the ability to extract information, by whatever means from these "detainees" since at least 9/11. Holding them out of the country was a ploy to circumvent laws of detainment and allow "special" interrogation methods.
Whether are not you agree with sending terror suspects to Gitmo, whether or not you agree with false identification of the detainees, secret movements between Gitmo and other foreign prisons, and special interrogation methods, prisoner counting math that just "doesn't add up", or putting terror suspects into the U.S. court system, trying them based on only "unclassified" evidence, and then releasing them into the U.S. population (or deporting the foreign nationals to their home country to rejoin their comrades) is a balance between humanity, national security, and money.
Don't forget that "detainment" of a U.S. citizen, without formal charges, without the "right" to due process, afforded us by the Constitution, applies also to naturalized foreign nationals in this country, sometimes as "sleepers", with the sole purpose of terrorizing the American people.
Present a better way of getting your hands on a terrorist, not violate his rights, humanely extract information about co-conspirators and planned attacks within our boundaries, not "wiki-leak" the info so they can change plans or go hide, and I bet someone would use it.
Close Gitmo? Not until there is a viable alternative.
Concerned about being detained as a terrorist? I'd be more concerned about state and local authorities sticking you with a felony, putting you in prison for the rest of your life, or worse in Texas, based on some "civilian" eye witness or evidence made up by the authorities just to "solve" a case.
The loss of your freedom is probably much more likely from some county sheriff's office than from the administration in D.C.
An innocent person getting locked away due to an over-eager city attorney, or shot by a swat team knocking down the wrong door, while rapists and murderers are released into his neighborhood couldn't happen. That would be against the Constitution. Welcome to DreamLand.

Maybe you just got a POS employee |

| I have gotten nothing but great customer service and great products from JC. Even though I would kill to get my hands on their Blu classic tobacco recipe but so far at least for me they have had the best tasting juice anywhere.
If anybody knows any other juice that taste anything like Blu Classic please let us all know |

Ironically, the biggest power any President has is in Foreign Affairs-

| The facts show that Jacatro is right, and as far as a President that knows the Constitution?
Were we better off under Dubya?
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”
“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
