Not only should the US provide refuge and compensation as the cornerstone of a larger and meaningful amends process, there is a strong argument that the Guantanamo inmates should be offered full-blown US citizenship. Drawing on the principle of constituted identities, Rogers Smith, a political science professor at University of Pennsylvania has offered the thought experiment that “constitutional democracies should include all persons who are constituted by coercive policies of the regime, if those affected wish to become citizens.” This offer of citizenship is especially appropriate as “reparation and redress of injustice.” In my view, the US and its people can never evolve past the national shame of the Bush era without confronting the damage done to individual human beings head on. The We in We the People must come to understand and accept our share of collective culpability and embrace these men–throw open our homes, workplaces, communities, universities, arms and hearts–and positively re-constitute our own identities in the process.
