There needs to be laws put in place so that these atrocities will never happen again. Held and tortured without any vague concept of "due process" for decades. This is atrocious.

I thought that Gitmo had been closed years ago. I'm appalled that it's only being closed down now.

I’m pretty sure there’s are laws in place but who’s going to enforce laws against the US government when they don’t want to answer for what they are doing.

There needs to be new laws within the USA to make sure this doesn't happen again. International laws would be nice as well to at least add pressure. Both would be best.

That’s like saying murder is illegal but people still kill each other, we need new anti murder laws. They can write all the laws they want, there’s not a single group on earth that can hold the US accountable. Any group that could would not want to because then the same would happen to them.
