One may need to pay attention not to confuse the issue of Guantanamo as that of being about the location of the prison in itself. The problem with being outside the country is that a different standard of justice is allowed there. Justice is something one need to seek at the best level he can and is not something that one can fashion to his taste. Therefore there should be one standard of justice at least from the entity making of the standard.

However, I emphasise again, that prison is much better than forcing expelling the residents to worse places.

For those who choose waterboarding I say, aside from the issue of having a standard that does not allow torture, if you waterboard somebody and it turned out that he was innocent or really does not have the information you were looking for then justice requires that you should be waterboarded even if you are the president of the United States.

I want again to echo that it is neither just nor acceptable and very degrading to us to force the indefinite holding on human beings like farm animals as it is the situation in Guantanamo. I came from a dictatorship and therefore I am familiar with what would make me surprised if even ten percent of what is called secret evidence here really deserve to be secret. After all, remember how Bin Laden's videos where not supposed to be aired in their entirety because of fear he could be communicating coded messages? Actually even with conducting trials here the issue remains of, as it was with the alleged marathon bombers, how can you claim somebody being the enemy of the country and still try him inside that same country?

Nevertheless, being held there is still better than being forced to go where there is unjust and torture.
