Can anyone make a strong case for Gitmo?

[Utah]

I supported Gitmo at the start of the Afghan war and it made sense to me during a war. However, I am pretty appalled that it has turned into a permanent station. I guess I was pretty naive as to the Bush team's intentions.

Additionally, I am shocked at how many prisoners have died in U.S. custody. I support torture is certain situations but the senseless death of prisoners and the rampant abuse of prisoners is intolerable. A few deaths can be attributed to rouge soldiers. However, the level of deaths and abuse have risen to a point that it points to the highest levels of the Bush Administration for not putting in place proper controls or for supporting the abusing.

Friedman wrote this week that Gitmo should be closed. While I found his arguments weak, I found the defenses of Gitmo even weaker.

Can anyone make a good case for gitmo or can anyone point to a good article is support of Gitmo?
