If President-elect Obama closes GITMO, where will the detainees go? Will some detainees be released/detained further or will they be put on trial? What would happen if one of those GITMO detainees who is released, attacks a U.S. interest around the globe? What would be the political fallout for Barack Obama who would have the blood of innocent Americans or other foreign nationals on his hands?
Mr. Obama needs to take more time to think more clearly on the subject and to consult with chief U.S. military personnel and members of his national security team on the subject on closing GITMO because the consequences and repercussions could be fatal to the U.S. national interests.
In my opinion, GITMO must stay open until we come up with a viable alternative that can absorb all the detainees with the highest standards of detention and security which meet the United States’ global obligation in its efforts to combat and curtail terrorism.
