President Obama has sign an order to close Guantanamo Bay Prison. Polls show that 49% of Americans want to keep Guantanamo Prison open. Why? If Osama Bin Ladin is still on the loose, how is this prison keeping us safe? A few of the prisoners are "back-benchers" for Al-Qaeda at best. The rest are innocent and are as much a threat to America as Sasha Obama.

Why keep this charade of national security going. It is a violation of international laws, international treaties, and is nothing more than national security planning based on stupidity. Obama is right to close it down. He should shut it down, enact habeas corpus, give the "Al-Qaeda wanna-bees" a day in court, and ship the rest back to their homes.

To the 49%-ers who want to keep this prison open, remember Abu Ghraib in Iraq? The reason it was torn down is because the prison became a symbol of American tyranny to the Iraqi people. If you can understand that reasoning, then you can understand how Guantanamo Bay prison has become a symbol of American tyranny and human rights abandonment to the rest of the civilized world. If it doesn't keep us safe and it has become a disgrace to the world, we don't need it.
