Issue Presented: One of the major tactics of the U.S. government in the war on terror, has been the detention of suspects for an indefinite period of time at the U.S. Navy s Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. Over the course of his presidency, President Barack Obama has consistently maintained a desire to close the GTMO detention facility. At the same time, the President has concluded that some of the individuals currently detained there are too dangerous to release, and that trials are not an option because there is insufficient admissible evidence to try the individuals under U.S. domestic laws or the laws of war. The implication is that the U.S. government believes that it must indefinitely detain these individuals without trial. Critics have argued that there is no provision in the U.S. Constitution or international law that allows for indefinite detention after the conclusion of a conflict. The issue for discussion this week is whether the U.S. should be able to hold individuals in detention indefinitely without access to a trial. You discussion post should consider both the detention of U.S. citizens and foreign citizens, and can, but does not have to, draw a distinction between the treatment of the two classes of people.
