Close Gitmo? Here is what will happen.
There is a big push by some anti-war types these days to have Gitmo closed because of all the abuses that have gone on there. The real solution is to end this war.
Until they do however, the USG should allow these people hearings before judges, and Amnesty Intl and the Red Crescent/Cross should be allowed the run of the place.
Close it and the infantry grunts (and I used to be one) will see no further need to take captives if they are simply gonna be given a six month rest & spa treatment at Camp Fed. The EC's get three squares, medical and dental treatment, and a chance to relax. Then they are released to again kill and injure soldiers and Marines. They have had a least ten EC's who were released from Gitmo who have ended up back on the battlefield shooting and bombing them all over again. Catch & release is fine for fishing, but not for EC's.
Once the grunts figger this out they'll simply shoot 'em rather than take them captive. To a grunt, a good EC is a dead one. Solves the Gitmo problem for them too.
