Summary:
In the article "US releases Saudi prisoner from Guantanamo Bay" by the AFP on November 22nd, 2014. We learn that the United States decided to release a very dangerous prisoner from Saudi Arabia, named Mohammed Al-Zahrani has been held in the prison for 12 years and was considered a threat to the United States. The approval to remove the prisoner was made by USA president Barack Obama in his effort to try to shut down the prison. Of all of the 142 prisoners at the prison, 73 have been clear to be released. They are trying to close Guantanamo prison because of the security concerns...
Analysis: I am actually surprised that they want to close the prison. I think that all the prisoners that are a real threat should stay in one place together and should stay there for long time and learn from their actions. They should highly considered using that prison for big gangster's like they use to do with the Alcatraz Island. I found that that was a good idea and it worked making the terrorist pay for what they've done to the society.
Discussion question:
1.Do you think they should keep the prison open?
2.Do you think they should use this prison for very dangerous people?
3.Why do you think the American government wants to close the prison?

I believe the government should defiantly not have closed the prison and they should make the prison a place where they keep the big criminals like Mohammed Al-Zahrani because if they had all of the biggest criminals together in one prison, they could mainly focus on that prison and make sure it had the best security.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this prison should be used for very dangerous people because if the American government is trying to close it for security purposes, then the prison must not be very secure. This would mean that because of their weak security, dangerous criminals would definitely escape.
