Imagine after 9/11 Bin Laden gets taken alive and sent to Guantanamo Bay, many years later the Us abandons Guantanamo and Cuba assumes control of it, including the prisoners. Now whatever Cuba does with the prisoners the Us cannot object to, Cuba has a nuke for deterrence, what would Cuba do with Bin Laden?
Now imagine the Us had a whole bunch of political prisoners in Guantanamo before abandoning it, just imagine what Cuba would do to any hypothetical person that the Us might have deemed bad enough to send there, but also what Cuba would do to this prisoner. Ask yourself, would Cuba pardon them, keep them imprisoned, kill them, deport them?
The meat of the question is, is the enemy of my enemy really my friend?. Do you think a person would have the critical support or unconditional support of Cuba despite being in Guantanamo Bay? Would someone being dangerous make them less valuable as an asset for Cuba?
I want to hear what all of you think what Cuba would have done if they got their hands on Bin Laden and their decision is independent of what the Us wants.
Easy answer: it's going to depend on the individual. There are currently 30 people being held in the Guantanamo Bay black site, all but one of whom are currently either indefinitely awaiting sentencing or are in indefinite detention but have not yet even been charged with a crime. They were all detained between 2002 and 2008.
You're 100% correct. We assess the crimes they've been accused of (if any) and pass judgment based on the facts. Most of them will go free. After being in a secret prison for two decades, they are going to need comprehensive financial, social, and medical support—as decent people we'd be obligated to provide it. It's less of an ethical dilemma, and more a test of basic ethics.
i'm not familiar with Cuban law but i have a hard time believing they could accommodate tortured & irregularly detained individuals without that ruining the case, which is also the case with US law they just endlessly loophole/delay it to save face
