Remember 2008, when Obama made closing Guantanamo one of the highest priority issues of his campaign? Too bad he never did anything to actually close Gitmo. #ThanksObama<\/p>\n

If these people are guilty, they deserve…nay, they are Constitutionally Guaranteed, a fair trial. Otherwise, release them and close the illegal prison. This is America, not Communist China or the USSR. And by the way…we are not in a state of war, so these are political prisoners, not prisoners of war; some of whom have been held, without trial (presumably because the Government doesn’t have enough evidence to actually convict them of anything), for 15 long years.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from a new study shines some extra light on exactly how fucked up things were, and are now almost 8 full years later: <\/p>\n

“A study by Afghan-based research group came to troubling conclusions regarding the US government\u2019s handling of Guantanamo Bay, finding it used bad intelligence and rigged its own legal system to justify detentions, thus prolonging the Afghan war.
\nThe author of the study by the Afghan Analysts Network says systemic ignorance of reality by both intelligence and military, as well as attempts to justify the War on Terror by any means necessary, have created a mechanism that only prolonged the conflict \u2013 America\u2019s longest in history \u2013 and strengthened the Taliban insurgency.<\/p>\n

Author Kate Clark delves deep into the case of eight remaining Afghans at Guantanamo. Their varying stories are used as case studies for how badly things can go wrong if bad intelligence is being upheld by a rigged justice system.”<\/p>\n
