Close Guantanamo bay. Obama hasn't kept his promise to close it. Human rights are being neglected. Unconstitutional.

Guantanamo Bay Violates Fundamental Human Rights.
Guantanamo Bay’s Lack of Transparency Counters American Interests. Guantanamo Bay is a Symbol of Muslim Discrimination that Fuels Terrorist Sentiments. Guantanamo Bay is detrimental to foreign relations for United States.

There are no visible pros to this argument. Only one out of every 172 prisoners receive a trial. Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

This is also an indirect violation of the 8th amendment. While the "inmates" technically are not being "punished", there are basic human rights not being met, which makes America just as bad as China or North Korea.
