Good. He needs to shut Gitmo down.

Almost all of the prisoners at Gitmo are still there because their home countries don't want them. So, to want country will they be released? What if no counrty wants them? Will Obama give them a U.S. visa and they will move to Dearborn MI?

This is from '10. Obama stands with the terrorists again.

"A declassified document made public Tuesday showed that up to 25% of all former detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, subsequently engaged in terrorism or insurgency, but the percentage is much lower for those transferred under the Obama administration.
The summary issued by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said that of the 66 detainees transferred to other countries since President Barack Obama took office, two were confirmed and three were suspected of "re-engaging in terrorist or insurgent activities."
Overall, the summary said, a total of 598 detainees had been transferred from the Guantanamo facility, with 150 confirmed or suspected of later taking part in terrorist or insurgent activities."

"This decision will not in any way pave the way for Obama to be re-elected and it likely won’t even help a little bit. It probably won’t hurt either so you really have to question why it’s being done. If it’s not going to have an effect on the election it seems strange that he would do it at all, there has to be some ulterior motive I think,” continued Kinsey. “Hopefully it’s a good ulterior motive though I don’t know what that could be."


This is just more last minute house keeping before the debates. Now he can say he's on his way to closing Gitmo. There's just one problem, there's no way to actually close Gitmo if we want to hold the terrorists. The only alternative is to try them in a military court, convict them, and throw them in the brig for life... or ???

Releasing these guys is a really bad idea.
