"Guantánamo has become the gulag of our times, entrenching the notion that people can be detained without any recourse to the law. If Guantánamo evokes images of Soviet repression, "ghost detainees" – or the incommunicado detention of unregistered detainees - bring back the practice of "disappearances" so popular with Latin American dictators in the past. According to U.S. official sources there could be over 100 ghost detainees held by the U.S.

As a liberal, I am all for ridding the world of terrorists. Yet as a liberal, I am against unjust and tortuous imprisonment, especally on innocent cilivans. The fact that only 10 of the 500+ plus detainees at Guantanamo Bay have been charged depicts injustice. The fact that inspections/reports from credible organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International Committee of the Red Cross, the Washington Post and the New York Times all have found or reported evidence of cruel prisoner abuse depicts the prison's inhuman nature. The fact that the Bush Adminstration refuses to shut it down depicts that Bush just doesnt gave a fuck.

Should the prison be shut down? Yes.
