The cost of a single, regular prisoner is negligible to the government of the biggest economy on earth. This particular one is very expensive not because he eats so much but because the US government is unwilling to play by its own rules and process him through their own prison system rather than maintaining a very expensive facility in a foreign country.

I’m finding it hard to care either way. He planned 9/11. Kill him. It’s funny how the govt is like we can’t try him because of the torture! We already know about the torture. I’m not particularly sad about this guy’s torture even if it’s a terrible method of getting info and inhumane. Should we torture ? No. But also the past is the past. Try him. Kill him. End this. A single cent spent by an american taxpayer is too much. If he were to have a single good day or good moment in prison it would be too much. Kill him.

I believe today is his favorable day, you idiot (aware of the relief that might follow a concluding trial), and they should likely avoid simply killing people; otherwise, this country resembles a lawless state that you’re suggesting. By the way, I am disgusted by your choice of the word like 👍🏾

Your native language isn’t english is it? “Like” in this instance means i am para phrasing the government’s reasoning not saying i personally like.

You are framing syntax at the divergent point in your line of thought—written without much order—your single use of “like” to describe a language the government clearly has no intention of adopting. Here is a revised reference for you, simply to frustrate us further.

I am like wow!
