This Gitmo discussion is getting out of control. The subject is far too complicated for we armchair political junkies to resolve. It is easy to sit on the beach with our pina coladas and make stategic and tactical judgements. Let the geniuses in the state and defense departments figure it out. Personally, I'd send them home or drop them from the plane on the way, or even better put them in one of our fine high security prisons. They can say good bye to special meals, prayer time and soccer games in the yard. They'll get tatooed and lift weights like everyone else. Of course, they'll probably get whacked before the ham sandwiches are servered for lunch. With regard to the platitudes of American values of fairness and torture applied to these clowns. My take is this. You do what is necessary to protect your family. We haven't been attacked in 8 years which is, I might add, the longest period in the last 4 decades. ---so something must be working. Save the theoretical for your philosophy class. With regard to our standing in the world, The world wants one thing from us-money. The UN is one of the most corrupt entities on the planet. When ever there is trouble in the world, they are willing to hold our coat while we sacrifice our young men. Personally, we ought to get them to pay their parking tickets and throw them the hell out of NY. We need to remain strong and do what is best for our people. Even with that selfish persective, we'll still be the most generous country in history - a generosity that has never been limited to just money. So sit back and pray that our man Barrack learns that we must negotiate from strength and that diplomacy is not a popularity contest like running for president |

Very well stated.


I'll keep this critique anonymous since it wasn't my idea.

But one idea is to hire a foreign contract shipping company, you know like Dubai, to go ahead and deliver the inmates to Venezuela per Chavez's request. Chavez suggested taking the inmates would be "no problem."
However, make sure the contractor uses an older vessel (equipped with lifeboats for the crew), which may just happen to sink midway through the voyage.
