"If you were President, how would you confront the multiple issues surrounding the Geneva Conventions that we have discussed in class over the past week?"
If I were President, I would reform Guantanamo Bay, so that the Geneva Conventions are being followed and no international or state laws are being questioned or broken. By keeping the location, but changing the rules, there would be no "not-in-my-backyard hysteria" that would happen with moving the inmates to a new location. If Guantanamo Bay was made into something more similar to a normal prison, the prisoners would have more rights, such as to a fair trial, but there wouldn't need to be any relocation.
