Should Anders Behring Breivik be taken to Guantanamo?

Alright there's lots of reasons why and why not for this. Slaughtering the children of people whose political or religious views you disagree with is a truly despicable act, and without a doubt the acts of a terrorist.

Terrorists can be individuals with no connections, but they can also know other terrorists who may or may not be working with them.

A christian terrorist though is unheard of so far as i can remember, but I'm sure people calling themselves christians have done similar things, it's we don't normally call them terrorists, we call them psychopaths.

I'm not suggesting here that America takes the responsibility here, but let's face it if the guy was muslim and this had happened in the UK he'd be on a plane to Guantanamo hours ago, one way ticket and few complementary bruises for the journey, to help him sleep.

So should he be interrogated, with perhaps the use of some torture if necessary to extract any information out of him that might lead to other potential terrorist threats that could be thwarted before there are any more blood baths?

I wont condone torture in any way, but the question is it justified in this instance? He isn't a suspected terrorist here, he was caught in the act of going to an island where children were on vacation and using it for firing practise. He invalidated any right to be treated humanely, if he is of sound mind and has information.

I'm not really expressing an opinion of mine here either way. I just want to know what other people think here.

 

No. There's no way the U.S. should assume ANY responsibility for furthering "justice" in this case. The crime took place on Norwegian soil -- the Norwegians should handle it.

 

Sure , release him into the main yard when all the Muslims are having rec time..

 

Maybe not a bad idea. It might give reason to shoot'em all.

 

Wasn't Guantanamo Bay supposed to be closed down

 

If they do have rec time., Its probably in some dog cages with individual separations. movement to and fro will be one inmate at a time. Although they may move them in group if they are all secure for such a movement. belly shackles, ankle cuff. Other than that. free to try and run but will not get very far..

Someone with a high degree of security will not be moved about with other inmates. Although once inmates behavior is determined its likely they'll be feed to the hounds in general population .. Since this dude has made world attention. General population is out the question. And will be in protective custody for the duration of their life there..

 

I say they cover him in bbq sauce and throw him to a bunch of bears with nothing but a pocket knife.

Screw GTMO.

 

He's Norway's problem. I don't know their laws, but they should (and I'm sure they will) do the worst that they can.

 

No one should be put through what they are SUSPECTED of doing as they were at Guantanamo Bay. There are probably many more internment camps throughout this fucked up world that are on the fringe of debatable huminatarian rights. We are shown so little of the great fuck-ups our goverment and military get us into.

 

Somehow, I doubt general population is scary because of the other inmates in Guantanamo.

I expect they're rather friendly to one another, I think those in uniform are the ones you fear there.

And no, I don't think this guy, or anyone else, should go there. There's lots of christian terrorists, they christian media just doesn't like labeling them as such. This is the US, where abortion clinics get bomb threats (and sometimes, attempts).

I do, however, think he should be imprisoned in a plexiglass box in public for the rest of his life. Same as osama should have.

*edit* yes, also, he's their problem, I would say the US should NOT offer any help with him, unless asked, and should generally keep our big nose out of other peoples problems.

 

blóðugr örn

 

Only if it's televised..:2thumbsup:

 

Bears can't use pocket knives...they don't have pockets

 

Hah!

I meant HE would have the pocket knife.

 

I think the Norwegian Authority's should wait till after the funerals of the victims then announce to the public that they are releasing him and give the exact time and location as to when and where. I suspect he would pay the price for his crime.

 

Aahhh, I see.


Sorry it was a cheap shot but hey...:biggrinjester:

 

A big bear with a small swiss knife is an entertaining thought though.

 

It's got nothing to do with the yanks - why put him over there?

Mind you, he'd get the punishment he deserves over there (as opposed to the traditionally peaceful culture of Norway as demonstrated by the Nobel Peace Prize)

 

We are taking care of him. I'm Norwgian, and i really hate that man. He killed my bestfriend.

 

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. To take innocent lives over beliefs has to be one of the worst acts a human can do. It's just totally senseless. But unfortunately,has always been a part of the human condition.
