In Guantanamo

Media Type: Movie
By: David Miller

Description:

Guantanamo naval base, "Gitmo", covers forty five square miles of Cuba inside an area under a controversial 'permanent lease' to the United States. Since 2002, the base has become synonymous with its detainment facilities for suspected terrorists. Although Barack Obama has given orders for the detention camp to be closed, the facilities remain open to this day. David Miller's quiet, powerful film is the result of three days the filmmaker spent touring the camps in May 2008 as part of a small group of media representatives allowed there. Although the event was presented as a chance to 'see inside' the working of Guantanamo, it was in fact a carefully staged PR exercise designed to yield predictable, stale, controlled media images.

I would rather keep the jackasses who done the 911 at the World Trade Center in Guantanamo, than have them running free, or maybe send them to you country so they can do the same to you. BORN IN THE USA

Well, BITU, They wouldn´t do any harm to my country, because we are a nation with a history of peace and underestanding, so pretty much everyone likes us. That may be a strange notion to a stubborn american like you....

Brazil's quite a joke... We are not peaceful, we just have an underfunded army that can barely defend our borders from the cocaine traffic. If a nation is ever intended to be a world power, a strong army is mandatory at least for deterrence.
And yes, Osama and islamist extremists whould love to blow up Brazil too, we are as 'western' as the United States and those lunatics wouldn't care about it, they're not rational.

Sure but 911 was an inside job and the guys who did it are still loose and many of the guys in gitmo are innocent.
