Checking out of Camp G

I was pleased with Obama’s move to shut down Guatanamo Prison. It’s not that I think everyone there is innocent, but the idea of holding prisoners indefinitely without charging them is everything America shouldn’t be. Communist Russia used to do that. A man/woman should always have their day in court. There’s risk that the guilty will go free, but what does it say about us when we don’t believe our own justice system is better than a dictatorship style management of “detainees.”
