Fixing Guantanamo
Time Magazine has a long feature article, How to Fix Guantanamo.
It offers five suggestions, all well-taken:
- 1. The White House must work with Congress
- 2. Repatriate the small fish
- 3. Process the 400 plus habeas cases through the courts. In other words, let the judiciary do its job
- 4. Live by the Geneva rules
- 5. Lift the veil of secrecy
The article also notes that 75% of those being held are no longer being interrogated. If they haven't been charged with a crime and have no useful intelligence information, it's time to send them home -- or to another country that is willing to take them and allow them to live in freedom.
