LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Former President Bill Clinton has said the United States should either "close down or clean up" the Guantanamo Bay prison for foreign terrorism suspects.

In an interview with the Financial Times published on Monday, Clinton said American or British troops would be at much greater risk if they had a reputation for abusing people.

"Well, it either needs to be closed down or cleaned up," Clinton said when asked whether the camp on Cuba should close.

Clean up? It's already 100 times cleaner than anywhere in the Middle East.

I must say his administration really knew how to handle that just look at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Certainly no tortured or abused muslims during his terms, only dead Christians............

Gitmo could be Disneyland and the MSM would still complain that the rain ponchos are one-size-fits-all and too expensive.

"Clean it up, or close it." Hey, why not apply that statement to Clinton (him and her)? Of course, if you cleaned all of the cr*p out of a Clinton (him or her), you wouldn't have anything left, now would you?

The impeached and disgraced Clinton had eight years to do something about terrorism, starting with the first time Al Qaida attacked the World Trade Center in February 1993, and HE DID NOTHING! Now, he criticizes President Bush and our military for their efforts against terrorism.

Who cares what he says? Who does he think he is or that what he says matters? Does he think that he is the President of the United States?

The empathy, the concern, the heartfelt emotion that the liberals have for our enemies is hard to fathom.

His administration should have been closed down or cleaned up. It was neither. He is part of the reason Gitmo exists.
