Guantanamo

I hope that one of the first things Mr Obama will do when he gets to the White House is to order the immediate closure of Guantanamo. This prison camp is one of the most unpleasant things the Bush regime has done. It is criminal to hold suspects without a fair trial and goes against democracy and everything the US stands for. The detainees can be taken to the USA and either released - with an apology and compensation - or given a fair trial by US courts, NOT the military. And if found "Not Guilty", then they will of course have to be given fair compensation - and perhaps Bush and Cheney would like to contribute. Then perhaps the US will start to make friends instead of enemies.
