#3 Or, 3dc, close the camp and let them swim to Puerto Rico. With life jackets, so they'll be safe.

#5 Nearly 300 detainees of the war on terrorism....

Not counting the 11 million detained on the island for the great international ~~faltering~~ Workers Revolution(tm).

#6 The argument simply fails to address how changing the location of detention advances the war effort.

True, but most critics intend to hamper the war effort so it is a moot point.

#7 I say, enforce the Geneva Convention! Give them a quick summary trial. All those captured: carrying weapons, not wearing a uniform, not under control of a command structure - shoot them. That is what the Geneva Convention says about illegal combatants.
Other than that, let them loose. They can swim home, or they can cross the minefields into Cuba. I'm sure Castro would love to have them.
