The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Oh no, we don't to send Hunter to Gitmo....That would be a big mistake.
Hunter would be considered a hero by the Gitmo inmates. senile dad keeps releasing
the inmate prisoners there.

NPR: 2023 03 09....


Looking at this link, and actually reading it, I encountered this statement:

"This week's release of 48-year-old Ghassan Abdullah al-Sharbi to Saudi Arabia ' and last month's release of two detainees to Pakistan and one to Belize ' indicates that the Biden administration is accelerating its efforts to close Guantánamo, or at least reduce its inmate population to only those facing criminal charges.

Approximately 780 prisoners have passed through Guantánamo's military prison since 2002, and it currently holds 31 men. Of those, 17 have never been charged and are approved for release, but remain behind bars while the U.S. searches for countries to take them.


It's common knowledge that many of the prisoners in Gitmo should never have been there in the first place. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and swept up in the frenzy of the intent to make the 9/11 culprits rightly pay for what they did. Those still imprisoned but not facing any charges most certainly SHOULD be allowed to rebuild their lives as free human beings
