And they have quietly released ove 60 prisoners. And that means they were innocent of charges or they had no proof or compelling case against them. Since the whole rationale of having GITMO was to have a special prison for the worst of the worst terrorists, GITMO is failing to fulfill its designed mission. If you release over 60 people that have been imprisoned without charges and held for extended periods of time, then were tortured and received harsh treatment, you are most likely creating 60 new insurgents along with their extended families. In short, Guantanamo is creating what it was designed to address.

It is a major world wide issue effecting America's general reputation. We need to close it down and take positive steps to regain a decent reputation in the world again.
