Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today called on President Trump to close the prison at Guantanamo:
“It was 16 years ago today that the first detainees arrived at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Since then, 780 detainees have been held there. I have called on both the Obama and Bush administrations to remove and transfer all detainees and close the facility, and hundreds of detainees have been transferred or released. Today, 41 detainees remain, five of whom have been cleared for transfer to other countries and 36 who remain in legal limbo.
“This prison has cost taxpayers more than $5 billion, and the propaganda value for terrorists has been even greater. It’s time to close this prison once and for all, so today I call on President Trump to restart the review process for those prisoners who haven’t been cleared for transfer or charged with a crime.
“I also call on Congress to lift the ban on transferring detainees to the United States and allow those who can’t be prosecuted at Guantanamo to be prosecuted in federal criminal court.
“With only 5 percent of the total population still there, I believe we should be able to finally get this done. Guantanamo has been a stain on our national conscience, and it’s time to shut the facility down.”

Her last post on the .gov site re GITMO was dated 2007.
You know....if Trump closed Guantanamo, and made peace finally with North Korea...they’d have to give him the Nobel Peace Prize.
by ‘him’ you mean Obama? A second NObel? :)
‘Guantanamo has been a stain on our national conscience...”
Not mine. I’m good with it.
I wish her fairy grandmother would come down and grant her retirement.
We need it to put the traitors in from the FBI/Obama DOJ...
“... the propaganda value for terrorists has been even greater.”
I don’t see a propaganda value for terrorists. Does it encourage terrorism because those imprisoned get 3 square meals and medical care?
I nominate Imam John "The Spook" Brennan.
Close Guantanamo?
Busy....
Translation: I’m polling poorly in my primary campaign against leftist opponent “Ponce” de Leon !
Note to President Trump....fill it up before you close it. Make DiFi one of its last occupants.
That’s exactly why this came up. She’s trying to preempt all of her partners in crime being sent there.
So transparent!
“You know....if Trump closed Guantanamo, and made peace finally with North Korea...they’d have to give him the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Nope. The Nobel peace prize is awarded for the sole purpose of advancing the progressive agenda. It has nothing to do with Peace.
Welcome to the Hotel Guantanamo, Diane. Your room is ready.

Guantanamo is on the island of Cuba, which is a prison hell for millions of people.... but leftists give Cuba a total pass and whine about a bunch of TERRORISTS held at Gitmo.
It appears she’s really afraid she’ll be sent there if it’s still open ?
How about reopening Alcatraz as a prison?
Sorry Missy, keeping it open awaiting your arrival for releasing that Info the other day. A head cold my ass, you don’t wipe your rear end with out 15 Staff members knowing about it. Just like your Staff did the actual release of the testimony from the closed doors hearing. Did they all have colds as well, or do they dare not question Queen Diane? POS
