President Obama’s top counterterrorism advisor said today the White House is about to launch a new effort to shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, citing escalating costs that is forcing the U.S. government to spend $3 million a year to house and care each of the 116 remaining detainees.

Speaking at the Aspen Security Conference, deputy national security advisor Lisa Monaco said the White House is drafting a plan to close the prison that it will present shortly to Sen. John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Among its details: stepping up transfers of 52 detainees who have been deemed eligible for release to other countries, while moving the rest to Supermax prisons in the United States or to military prisons where they will be tried before military commissions.

“That doesn’t mean just unlocking the door and have somebody go willy-nilly to another country,” Monaco said about the planned transfer of detainees to overseas countries. “It means a painstaking establishment of security protocols that would govern the transfer of that individual. . .

Bullets are cheap. A rope is even cheaper.

Since when does Obama care abut costs? What we spend at Gitmo is nothing compared to the disaster of Obamacare.

Interesting. It looks suspicious but ?

You might try placing all information on its own thread. I think it would get more exposure that way.

Obonzo wants to move them closer to their potential victims.

I finally understood Obama’s promise to close Club Gitmo, as soon as a Cuban official mentioned it, after the consulate opened.

Emperor Obama is planning on giving the entire military base back to Cuba.

I would disagree...each of the detainees brought into a super-max prison or military prison...would be under a death threat from inmates in the system. Its hard to see how they’d survive a full year. Guys with a life sentence....even in the military prisons...will take some pleasure out of going after these Gitmo guys.

Good point!
