John McCain wants to pull terror suspects out of Gitmo and he wants to end water-boarding

What does this have to do with giving up the naval base? BTW, waterboarding ended about five years ago.

In this particular war, what good is a "base" if you can't use it for interrogating Muslim terrorists? Do you and John want a base you can't use? No one accused John of being a genius, but putting Muslim terrorist on a military facility, with an ocean mote between them and American citizens seems to be a reasonably sound use of resources. The best way to abandon a military asset is to make it useless-and in that he walks lock stop with Fidel.
