That you should be mad that Gitmo exists b/c they spend $38 dollars on food for illegally detained people w/ no prospects of release, and not b/c they are illegally detaining people w/ no prospects on releasing them?
Why would I be mad?
I have bigger fish to fry than to fret being outraged about everything our government does or engages in.
And, to some of you who think, I did not worry about every little thing Bush did either.
If you people of the forum are mad or outraged, maybe you should contact your congress-person and let them know you don't approve of the way they mishandled GITMO, and the holding of POW's for extended periods of time. If you think it'll do any good that is, because politicians are going to do what they want to do, not what you or I want them to do.

I'd go back too. I'm not holding that against them.

No, the people in jail don't get the money. More money is spent on housing POW's.
You win a cigar. The knee-jerk right wing reaction is to blame Obama for everything.
But anticipate the reaction. If Obama closed Gitmo, the right-wing would claim he is soft on terrorism. If he kept it open, which he did, you get threads like this complaining about how expensive the meals cost -- as if the price of detainee's food is a drain on the government.
But they said it should have been shutdown over f four eyars ago and now he can.I dn't see nay republican demdnig what he can't do bewcause no one wants them shifted to there state.
obama made the promise to close it, all he wanted was votes. Why is he not held up to his word. A man use to keep his word, but he is no man. He is controlled by his handlers, and they make money off of gitmo. No different than bush. he is a warmonger just like his buddy bush. Blame bush all you want, but obama has many friends that control him, they make money off of govt contracts. Keep thinking that obama is different that the other presidents. All he has is a darker tan.
Congress blocked Obama's attempts at closing Gitmo and continues to do so.

The latest round of Congressional efforts to prevent Gitmo from closing were contained in the NDAA for 2013.
We need Sherrif Arpao in charge. He would get the cost down to about $2 per day.
