    Should we do a deal with America?

    We take all the prisoners from Guantanamo and in exchange America takes all the Irish Bank Directors, wouldn't it be fun to waterboard all of those b****ards

    No - for a number of reasons.

    * For neutrality reasons alone (I know... What neutrality!)
    * A lot of them haven't even been given a trial yet but still behind bars for years!
    * We are full as it is.

    "For neutrality reasons alone" = We would be accepting prisoners what are of a different cultural background to America. Accepting them as prisoners might be seen as us siding with the American administration and agreeing with their ways of doing things.

    "We are full as it is." = Our prisons are jam-packed of our own crap. Who needs extras being brought in from abroad?

    They aren´t gonna be imprisoned if we take them. They aren´t guilty of anything other than being victims of American imperialism.

    So these ones you refer to were found guilty in a court then and not just by hearsay?
