Guantanamo Is Such A Time Wasting Politcal Football

So here the ball is kicked again and the Republicans and the Demorcats are back playing yet another round of Quantanamo political tournament. I still don't get it, why does the U.S. government have to spend all this time and energy discussing and fighting over the "closing" or the "keeping" of this prison resort in Cuba?

According to the article here: our Attorney General Eric Holder found that the facility was very well run and that the miltary staff had made every conscious attempt to treat the dentainees well. So now, should we be finally proud of America and be happy? May be we should nominate our miltary staff to enter the Hospitality Award hosted by the Hotel and Resort Industry.

Do the majority of Americans really want to bring the Quantanamo detainees back here to the United States to trial? Why can't they be trialed at Quantanamo? Excuse my ignorance cause I really am not familiar with the U.S. Judicial procedures regarding war criminals or foreign terrorits who alledgedly launched terror attacks against the U.S. miltary in a battlefield overseas.

As far as trying the detainees here in the Mainland, my concern is how long will they be stucked in such a process here at our home turf when our courts are already lined up with our own criminals who have been sitting around waiting for trials, or bailing in and out to get some coffees, donuts, or even a Phd degree before a court date can be set for them... Meanwhile, our detention facilities here are guaranteed not as well run as Quantanamo. Don't we already have an overcrowding situation with our prisons here at home? Don't we have enough criminals here that we don't have a place to house? Why on earth we want more criminals (worse, terrorists) to be brought here? I don't. May be many others do and that is really beyond my reasoning.

I personally wish we could actually ship our inmates from here to Quantanamo instead of releasing them onto our streets. (4000 inmates to be released in Los Angeles due to prison overcorwding...) I wish the government could spend as much time, energy, and financial resources on our own prisons, and trying our criminals instead of focusing so much on grooming up Quantanamo as a poster child for U.S. hospitality and turning our mighty miltary into all these friendly and professional hotel staffs. For what? Really for a Hospitality Award from the crazy terrorists in the Middle East? If that's the case, closing Quantanamo won't be enough, America will have to give up her ideology of democracy, her beliefs, her values, and actually her entire existenance if she really wants to contend for Ms. Congeniality.

I think instead of aiming at the impossible Hosptiality Award, the government should focus on how the "closing" or "keeping" of Quantanamo is going to benefit the majority of Americans. So what do you all think? Should they keep it open so we could ship our inmates there, or should it be shut down so we could turn it into an open resort and let our milary continue to be the bus boys there to earn the U.S. government some tourists bucks? After all, don't we need to make some money to pay for our economic stimulus? Or should we do "Half & Half"?
