What does this have to do with giving up the naval base?

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.

I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking you don't know much about Gitmo Naval Base. We've been using it for decades for all kinds of things. We've also got a whole lot of other bases we don't use for interrogations. Are you suggesting that they are useless?
