Will Guantanamo Bay ever close?

Why do you care so much about a bunch of catched terrorists?

Because of the way they are treated, they are human beings and so deserve to be treated as such with rights. There are international conventions on human rights and yet for some reason don't apply here. Geneva in 1926 and the UN convention on human rights in 1948 are key here. But from the sounds of it, they are mostly suspects. You don't indefintely detain suspects without telling what they did with proof of it. 

and i find it very ironic for a country that takes great pride in freedom and democracy to have such places like Guantanamo Bay open. How can people take America seriously when they say they are fighting for democracy and yet anyone who opposes America butting in their own countrie's business is a terrorist. The American Goverment is as much a terrorist group as Al Qaeda is. With torture in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Drone strikes against numerous innocent people in Pakistan and the CIA trying to overthrow any regime out there that isn't conservative/ libertarian capitalist minded by means of assassination or sanction in a hope that a right wing government is formed. 

And I may have gone way off topic, but it's more than about so called terrorists. It's about America as a superpower who wants to intervene in everything, regardless of the consequences. When some people have enough of it, they are seen as terrorists by us and yet they have a good reason for not wanting the us involved in their countries. I focus on Guantanamo in this thread, just because it proves what the true American Government is like. It proves that despite a entrenched constitution which restricts government power existing for 250 years has little impact on them as it's not happening in their country. But somehow, it's right for Americans to torture people as it's not done on American soil. Sometimes, i wonder who the real terrorist is? Noam Chomsky seems to know anyway
