Closing Guantanamo Bay & Indefinite Detention

The arrest, detention and trial of terror suspects must comport with the due process and habeas corpus mandates of the Constitution. When candidates espouse policies that would continue illegal detentions without charge or access to courts, they create a two-tiered justice system and ignore constitutional provisions that safeguard against governmental abuses of power. This is the case today for many of the prisoners being held in Guantanamo Bay. These suspects should be prosecuted in federal courts that are well-equipped to handle sensitive evidence while preserving civil liberties.
