  1. That must have taken some convincing if it took until now

  2. After how much they were tortured, it’d be risky for the government to go to trial.

    Is there any risk of them appealing after the guilty plea?

  4. “I don’t know what to think or feel about this, I’m just gonna turn my head away.”

  7. There’s going to be a hundred comments about cruelties of torture and indefinite confinement but I don’t really care. These men killed thousands of Americans directly, tens of thousands indirectly, and provoked my country into a stupid 20 year long war that squandered so much potential for nothing.

    Everything they’ve endured to this date has already been a great and undeserved kindness compared to what they should have experienced.

  8. 23 years…23 years…I bet they’ll admit that they shot Lincoln and JFK at this point…

  9. I remember a Canadian lawyer who represented a former child soldier in Guantanamo saying he would have confessed to killing JFK

  10. When you have shit like this and also do “virtuous” foreign policy… Like talk about human rights violations etc…

    Not a good look. Nothing is absolute and the existence of Guantanamo bay does not erase what good you tried to do in the world… but undeniably it looks hypocritical.

  11. We offered poor people money for information in a time of crisis and wondered why we wound up with innocent people.

  13. WHAT A SURPRISE

    But like you know, f those guys, assuming they are the guys

  15. LOL and some people had the audacity to say to me that Asange would have a fair trial 🤣🤣… of course they will agree… they’ve been tortured for breakfast, lunch and dinner 🤣🤣

  16. Gitmo is an absolute shit stain on Americas reputation and should have been closed a long time ago. I doubt the credibility of anyone’s confession after years of torture and confinement.

    Heck I’d probably end up saying anything I think they’d want to hear at that point

  17. If this headline came of out china or Russia the comments would be very very very different

  18. If you haven’t listened to the last season of Serial, it’s about this case. It is absolutely insane the bureaucracy at play down there. Abuse, times of good relationships between prison and prisoners, times where media was allowed, times they were blackballed, suicides as protests, hunger strike, and always always always, the guiding force of Gitmo and the court case was some invisible influence much higher up the food chain that said, just delay, delay, delay. It’s a good listen.

  21. Sad to see after all the broken promises Guantanamo is still a thing, especially with all this shit going on in Israel, us Americans are such hypocrites.

  22. Heard a piece on NPR recently about the detainees at Guantanamo Bay and how the 9/11 families are losing hope and dying off cause of how long this shitshow has taken and how it probably won’t ever go to trial. Thanks, Bush jr and Cheney you fucking morons! 

  24. I just hope he spends the rest if his miserable life in jail .

  27. There’s a season of the Serial podcast that covers Gitmo. It’s a worthwhile listen and will leave you stunned.

  28. Doesn’t mean anything to me, I’d admit to whatever they asked after 23 years of torture too. Not that I doubt it was them or anything, just any conviction is pretty meaningless after someone’s been there for 20-odd years of abuse and such.
