Eight years have past since the 9/11 attacks and only now are the men held in Guantanamo Bay prison who have alleged ties to the attack being put on trial. People seem to be celebrating the fact that these men will finally face justice. This is legitimate, however, it puts into question our justice system. These men have been imprisoned for eight years. This presents the major controversy surrounding Guantanamo Bay prison which Obama's administration has said it will close. Do we have the right to hold these men that long before going to trial? Another issue is at least one of the men was subject to waterboarding. I guess we are trying to redeem ourselves. Seems a little late. But better late than never I suppose.
