Get the number down to the few dozen that are a really connected to 9/11...why we went there to begin with and the situation is totally different.
Of course this would have taken more time and Bush Co. had other plans. |

You need to get some reality into your thought process .
Not to be a pest , but since you fancy yourself a Gitmo psychologist could you answer my question from before ?

It's contextually not relevant. Your question was about closing GITMO, not what we could have done differently. i.e. they shouldn't have been there to begin with...
Besides, it's hardly a surprise that after being captured, shackled to the floor of a transport aircraft with a bag over your head, imprisoned and harshly interrogated for years...that some might leave with a slight grudge. |

The "they hate us for our freedoms" line was rhetoric designed so people wouldn't challenge Bush's justification for war.
From Bin Laden's perspective 9/11 was about the US backing actors like Israel and the Saudi monarchy that had failed to serve the interests of Muslims...it was defensive not offensive.
Sorry but it didn't happen because we have gay rights and freedom fries. |
