Wednesday: I was particularly interested in the article concerning the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison facility. In order to close the facility, other countries must accept some 241 prisoners from the jail. These plans have recently been postponed due to the controversial issue of figuring out if some of the detainees are in fact innocent. After all, many of those unfortunate souls that find themselves in Guantanamo are only there under suspicion with no proof to help their case whatsoever. While I understand that several individuals can pose as threats to society, I simply can't believe that the government can take a man off the streets and throw him in a prison on the grounds that they "think" he "might" have done something wrong or was "planning" on doing so. The whole process just bewilders me.
