Would you go to prison to obtain all of the "so called" benifits you ascribe to the prisoners in question?
Why do you assume that they would all go to Afghanistan?
If Afghanistan is where they would go are you saying that prison is more desireable than "home"?
Are you suggesting that they have "unfettered" computer access?
Are you suggesting that they have "unfettered" access to reading material? Would they have access to the personel records of their captors? Would they have access to the architectural and engineering drawings of the prison they are in?
I have not heard of people lining up to get into the prison at Gitmo to access all of the so called benifits you have listed.

So called? If offered to you what would you call them? Oh yeah, more than likely you view those as 'entitlements'. It's been represented that many, if not all of these fine young men either lived prior or were trained in Afghanistan. That was the reason for that assumption. However, wherever they are from they will have to replace their source of entitlements. I'll be pleased to no longer be footing the bill.
If the word "unfettered" appeared as you read my reply you have a computer virus.
It's difficult to get near enough to Gitmo to line up. However, I see many people thinking they are entitled, and lining up for the exact same benefits. I haven't polled them for their preferred location, but I'm thinking tropical Cuba would be preferred to say...Detroit.
My personal views regarding the value of those entitlements relative to my freedom; my position was given previously.
Isn't it more than a little presumptious of you to decide what I may or not think are "entitlements"?
I,like you, prefer freedom to prison...but you seem to imply that those presently imprisoned should be thankful for their position. Why do you presume that they would prefer prison to freedom?
The cite quoted did not reference national origin,economic condition or location of academic or military training of any of the individuals concerned in the article.
Your listing of the prisioners access to the net and reading material was not qualified so I asked for clarification...which you chose not to acknowledge,but rather implied that I misquoted you.
You "line up" for your entitlements so why do you denigrate others for doing the same?
You may prefer Cuba to Detroit but some might prefer Aspen or Brekinridge to Cuba.
I too would like to be relieved of the economic burden imposed on me by my government for those imprisoned at Gitmo.
