I assume it was a naive impulse simply because there seems to be this tendency to think that we are imprisoning these people for no reason at all. A lot of Americans don't seem to accept the fact that there really are people out there plotting to kill us, and succeeding at it sometimes.
When I say I don't know much about Gitmo, I'm only saying that I haven't done much research to look at the people imprisoned there and done any form of background check to confirm who, what, & why they are there. But I do not distrust the decision to keep them there, nor do I look at congress and think they are stupid for having that prison in existence. > Whether closing Guantanamo is a wise thing to do, > irrespective of politics, is another question entirely. > And since you say you "don't know much about" it, I'm > not sure why you think you're in a position to say that > wanting to close it is a "naive impulse." >
