President Barack Obama and his administrators are now looking to delay the Gitmo trials. The delay is due to two Republican senators said that they no longer believe that the inmates will be transfered to the state of Kansas. Leavenworth, which is a prison in Kansas, is said to be no longer under consideration for the placement of the Guantanamo detainees. Senator Brownback said that Leavenworth would not be a "suitable site" for detainees. The other site that has been under serious consideration for holing the detainees is a maximum security prision in Standish, Michigan.
My opinion is that Guantanamo should not be shut down and the inmates transfered to somewhere here in the states. Some of the inmates in Guantanamo are said to be responsible for the September 11, 2009 attacks. If these men wanted so badly to hurt our country why would they want to live in it? Also, how safe is it? Their fellow conspirators that have not been caught may use their transfer as another opportunity to attack our country. Why should we give them the opportunity?
If you were living in Michigan near Standish how would you feel knowing that terrorists are being transfered to where you live? Would you feel safe, would you feel your child is safe? I know that I would not feel safe, and if I had kids I would worry about them too. So in my opinion Guantanamo should stay open and not be transfered to the US.
