The politicians have been talking about closing Gitmo since 2006. Obama used a Guantanamo argument in both his election campaigns, 2008 and 2012. But in the past 10 years nothing has really changed.
On the other side there are rock hard evidences that Obama knew about Gitmo tortures and even sanctioned them.
So now the govt started these talks again. And probably they'll move some prisoners to the inner American prisons. I understand that 52 prisoners wouldn't worsen the situation but the US already lies in the second place in the List of countries by incarceration rate. There are 2,217,000 prisoners in the country. Do we need more criminals and terrorists to live in our neighborhood?
Moreover I don't believe that Gitmo can ever be closed! It's too important for the CIA in their anti-terrorist conspiracy!
