Closing Gitmo....Not so much

Well, now that there was a buzz created about Commander Cod-piece closing gitmo the administration has nixxed those reports citing "legal decisions" that need to be made, it's obviously hard work. I am betting the reasoning is a lot more than it seems. If they were to close Gitmo, as the reports were saying, they would have to move the detainees somewhere. This would most likely involve our military bases outside the country since, as the news pointed out this morning, bringing them onto American soil might give them access to American courts and many of the detainees would be set free because, gasp, there is no evidence they have committed a crime. As it stands most of the detainees have been cleared even by the military but they have not been released.

Personally I have a feeling they will close gitmo only once the prison that is currently being built in Afghanistan is complete (I wish I had a link, I only heard about this, this morning on MSNBC as I was getting ready for work). Once that prison is complete they'd have the perfect place to move the detainees where there would be little to know "peeking" into what went on, after all it would be a US military prison in the middle of a, let's face it, failed state. A complete black site.

This is what we have become and as a REAL American I am ashamed.
