Should Guantanamo Bay Terror Suspects Be Held in U.S. Prisons?

Should terror suspects be held within the United States?

Posted August 3, 2009

The Obama administration is considering transferring some prisoners currently held at Guantanamo Bay to a federal facility somewhere in the United States, according to the Washington Post. Is this a good idea? Do you favor incarcerating some terrorism suspects currently held at Guantanamo Bay in the United States?

Held in U.S. Prisons?

I hear a lot of scared people with jerk knee response. Why holding terrorist in prison is more dangerous than in any other country? Or more dangerous than serial killer? At least they won’t be released before time is up. But Gitmo must be closed. There must not be such thing as indefinite imprisonment without trial. It is against soul of American justice. Cowards can stay where they always belong-on the back, where they can shake and cry how terrible is to have terrorist in the federal prison with maximum security, Their idiotic fears are more important to them than justice and self-respect

Muslim Terrorists

Put them in our maximum security prisons if they are

guilty of terrorism. Leavenworth, Florence, Co are good

places for these guys. But let's try them first and find

out who is who and what they did.
