The Obama administration’s failure to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba is part of what’s preventing substantive negotiations with the Afghan Taliban. The leaders of the insurgency against the U.S. war in Afghanistan have pushed a Gitmo prisoner release deal in exchange for a peace settlement that could end the war, but the Obama administration – especially after signing the latest defense bill into law – has refused such a proposal.
Well that's just great. Rule that you can hold people until the war ends- and then arrange for the war to never end. Perfect.
Close Gitmo, that wonderful symbol of American greatness, the one located in Cuba. You have to be joking!
I mean, they'd have to build all those luxury cages again somewhere else. And the orange uniforms look sooooo good in the Cuban air!
Besides, American citizens don't want to hear the screams of Muslims being tortured! It will upset their enjoyment of America Idol!
