That's great! Let those go, many who were responsible for masterminding and/or carrying out or taking part in the bombing of the twin towers on September 11, 2001. Let 'em go! They'll be free to go back to wherever it was from which they came and make plans to do it again but this time, kill more Americans! Great idea OBama! Those “feel good” politics work well. They'll work well until more Americans die and you have blood on your hands.

I don't think anybody's talking about letting those responsible for masterminding the 9/11 attacks go. But then, I suspect you already were well aware of that.

closing Guantanamo represents a step in the right direction; pretty soon the U.S. will be able to join the world community once again
