Clean Our Mess: Release Guantánamo Detainees in the U.S., Close the Camp | The Smirking Chimp

Australia’s Shame is the worst it has been as we still treat Asylum Seekers in much the same way as America treats those in Guantanamo while our media pundits like Chris Kenny call it a holiday and Morrison denies they are even refugees. Humans who have been detained without trial for 20 years in the uS and here for a decade. Children have grown up in our detention camps. Meanwhile Commandant Morrison publicly lies and says said there are “no refugees” being detained at the Park Hotel.

Notice, I did say over three dozen. That’s because all 39 Guantánamo victims are legally innocent under American law, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. None of them have ever faced trial in an actual civilian courtroom and never will because their testimony was extracted under duress. KSM, for example, was infamously waterboarded 182 times. If the rule of law and due process mean anything, all 39 prisoners — not just those who have been cleared to leave — should not be transferred to maximum-security prisons on the American mainland, as liberals generally suggest. They should all be released in the United States and given every possible resource to live out their lives peacefully and successfully.
