its beginning the United States has been a nation governed by and for the people, becoming the first nation to have the people tell the government what it can do, not vise-versa. What is considered to be among the greatest of feats is what former President Ronald Reagan believed was so special about the orderly transfer of constitutional authority being nothing less than a miracle in the eyes of the world.

The significance of President Obama’s proposal of closing the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center could not be more delayed from both a moral and justice standpoint. A case in point is that the infamous detention center continues negatively to be seen as an inhumane facility that violated the human rights and lack of due process for detainees.

maintenance costs, security, etc. for life -- are insanely lavish. The coverage is simply unjustifiable. Most outrageous, the government could provide these facilities to anyone it deems fit, which means all cronies of senior leaders. Sure, the president and vice president will retire as soon as their replacements are elected under the new constitution. When they retire, they should be given the facilities and security the country can manage. However, such facilities should be available as long…
