Gitmo

I have a solution for the Guantanamo problem that only the bloodiest of hearts would find unpalatable. President Obama, are you listening?
I propose that we allow the prisoners to build rafts, a la would-be Cuban refugees, and have them launch those rafts into the Atlantic Ocean. The Army could even furnish them with materials to construct their makeshift vessels. There should probably be a pecking order to determine who gets to choose raft mates, and to determine where each detainee ranks, they could participate in a spelling bee, which would be educational and entertaining:

Moderator: The word is "infidel."
Detainee: Could I please have the etymology? Could you use that in a sentence?

Which is just a stalling tactic, of course, since they know damn well how to use infidel in a sentence. The spelling bee could be broadcast on Fox.
Speaking of which, the whole thing could be a reality show, from the start of raft construction to their journey (a few shark attacks wouldn't hurt ratings) to their arrival on the Florida shores, when it would get really interesting. For I also propose that those who reach Miami then be transferred to Ground Zero. The construction crews at Ground Zero could affix prison-style bars over the top of the pit where the twin towers stood, and the surviving detainees could take up residence in the pit itself. This holds myriad opportunities.
Visitors to the site would have the chance to purchase ball bearings from machines, like the ones that dispense gumballs at supermarkets, to throw at the detainees. The catch, however, is that they could throw them back. Fair is fair. The detainees also would have protection behind which they could seek refuge, like on American Gladiators. Along with that gladiator theme, I have another possible diversion, though some people might find it in poor taste: that we occasionally unleash German shepherds in the pit to interact with the two-legged inhabitants.
So this is just a winner. The purchase of the raft materials and ball bearings provides an economic boost, not to mention the tourist influx to New York. And the reality show offers entertainment and generates advertising revenue. Aside from which, it's clearly a politically palatable solution that likely would garner bipartisan support.
