Does Obama care more about the rights of terrorists than the families of their victims?

absolutely not,

because he cares so much about the victim's families .

he want to cure the terrorists reason ,not create more of them.

edit : he wants and will try,

no more wars.

It's not a matter of rights for terrorists, it's a matter of equal rights for everybody, with the USA is always preaching.

Ahem, ahem, that link leads to a story which does NOT say 61 were recaptured committing terrorist acts.

It says 18 have been confirmed (from photographs, fingerprints etc) as having rejoined suspected terrorist organisations. The remainder are suspected of maybe having done so, on "plausible information", not evidence....in other words hearsay.

There was not enough evidence against them in the first place to charge them with anything, or even to keep them detained without charge. So they can't really be called terrorists because they were never more that suspects.

But then if someone innocent is locked up and tortured for a few years, is he going to have much love for the people who did it to him? or is he more likely to sign up to go against them?

Gitmo MAKES ENEMIES for the USA, not only of the people unfairly locked up there, but of many others who know about it.

Not a single charge was found against any of the detainees who were released. So there is no evidence of any crime they committed = no evidence that they HAD any victims.

The legal technicality that Guantanamo Bay is not on US soil does not mean the USA can MORALLY treat people worse there than is expected within the country by the Constitution and other laws. The detentions have caused the USA more damage in its world standing than any number of supposed terrorists could, because it has shown up the country as holding a different law for others than for itself....THE definition of unfairness.

You can't preach "freedom for everybody" and go to war to get freedom for others, then take away freedom from individuals without due process. Obama apparently understands this; the previous administration did not.

Keeping the remaining men in detention will do nothing for the victims of terrorism, EVEN IF any of them had anything to do with any terrorism, which is not likely if the best intelligence teams in the world could find nothing against them in all these years.

No, he cares about the Constitution. You don't know if they have the right people until there is a trial, and the whole point of Gitmo was to hold people without trial as it isn't on US soil.

Added: Check your Constitution again. The Supreme Court has said repeatedly that non-citizens have rights under the Constitution, whether they are within US borders or not. Not full rights, but a degree of rights.

No.He cares about doing the right thing.Holding those men costing us millions is plain stupid.The really bad dudes will go to trial,the others home.What happens to them then is not our concern.But holding them with no charges for 6 years was.
