Just Shut It Down

Shut it down. Just shut it down.
I am talking about the war-on-terrorism P.O.W. camp at Guantánamo Bay. Just shut it down and then plow it under. It has become worse than an embarrassment. I am convinced that more Americans are dying and will die if we keep the Gitmo prison open than if we shut it down. So, please, Mr. President, just shut it down.

I Like Ike!
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security,
unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you
would not hear of that party again in our political history.
There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do
these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an
occasional politician or businessman from other
areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
