Has Obama decided to keep Guantanamo Bay open? It's been 4 months. He did say he was going to close it when he became President of the USA. I hope he doesn't but he did promise. If he changed his mind and goes public with keeping it open I will certainly be proud of that choice even though he played with the far left folks to close it to get their votes.
It looks like Congress will not authorize money for the closing.Quote:

Obama says he still plans to close the place by January...so, what's he going to do with the residents?
Seems pretty stupid closing the place down if they are just going to put them in another jail. I thought I read it cost over 200 million "bones" to build the thing. We should start shipping over murderers from the states over there.
It's a fucking palace for terrorists...Quote:

In fact, I remember reports of some those who were released, actually asking to stay.
So, won't the human rights organizations throw a shoe if we move them from a state-of-the-art facility to some "shithole" we've never heard of?Quote:

The towel head started cussing me out in all sorts of high pitches. He said he has been buying it from my store for months. I said "asshole, we don't have any, get the fuck out" He continue his rant. I had enough, I said "Do you have the container that it came in?" Started yelling YES, YES, YES I do and ran home to get it. When he got back I was like "dumbass thats a normal stick of underarm deodorant" Pissed off the idiot reads the back of the container out loud right in front of the customers.

Not the story I remember as this guy just wants to stay because he'll be tortured back home.
But, I distinctly remember a story of a released terrorist wanting to stay or be sent to America because the accommodations at Gitmo were better than he had back home.
Meh, call me a liar...I could just be misrememberin. Sue me.
Funny you misremembered.Quote:
In March 2002 he was flown to what was then Camp X-Ray at the US naval base in Cuba.
A military tribunal alleged that he had associated with the Taleban in Afghanistan and ruled that his detention was justified. But in February this year the US deemed him fit for release.
Mr Katznelson said: “Even though the Americans say he poses no threat, Ahmed fears that he has the stamp of Guantanamo Bay on him and he will be treated by the authorities as a terrorist if he is returned to Algeria.
“It is a bizarre situation because the reason he left in the first place was because the Islamist terrorists were threatening to kill him.”
I'm impressed with the post, tho.
