Close Gitmo!

I think there are only two reasons my fellow conservatives defend Guantanamo Bay's detention facility.

1) They instinctively defend anything American that is attacked by dozens of Democratic congressmen and senators.

2) They are afraid to say what they really believe: that Gitmo should be shut down and its detainees moved somewhere that Amnesty International and other left-wing wackos can't find them--and where they aren't coddled so much.

At the very least we should put price caps on the food and health care we provide them. (Is gruel halal?) And interrogators should be given leeway to the extent of anything not reasonably expected to cause permanent injury, serious illness, or death. After all, these enemy combatants were not in uniform, are not under Geneva protections, and are associated with an enemy that will not stop torturing and beheading our guys, regardless of what we do or do not.

If detainees get hurt during interrogation, taxpayer-funded doctors can rush to their rescue, assuming the procedure is covered by the detainees' HMO.
