President Obama, Guantanamo prison is wrong. Close Guantanamo prison and hold open trials for those remaining prisoners. It is wrong to kidnap a person and hold them without trial. It is wrong. The worst offenses of totalitarian governments begin with kidnapping people and holding them on hearsay evidence without trials. Our outrage at corrupt governments throughout history includes their practices of capturing so-called enemies, and disappearing them without trial, or with obviously fake trials. Our sacred understanding of why the United States is a great nation includes the right to a public trial. That we have gone along with destroying this foundation of our country in the name of security is an evil stain on our hope to be a leader in modern civilization. Throughout the world, and even within ourselves, we can no longer claim to be a just and civilized nation, as long as we practice such barbarity. There must be a secret agenda that some people are protecting, in order for them to prevent proper trials for these prisoners. What secrets are people hiding, that they impede having open trials for these prisoners? What secret agents would be exposed by having these prisoners able to speak publicly? It has been more than 8 years. What sloppy procedures, torture, and malfeasance on the part of our government are people trying to protect? Whether the prisoners are terrorists or not is totally irrelevant at this point. The whole situation of secret prisoners breeds corruption. It corrupts us. It must stop. It is wrong. It is barbaric. It is corrupt. You can decide it is wrong and you can stop it.
