I guess I just don't understand why closing Gitmo is such a high priority. What is the issue with it? Move it to another offshore location with a different name ... what does that accomplish? Or is it that we want a new policy whereby we take no prisoners? If it is a question of how we're proceeding there, why not just look into the policies and determine what needs to be changed/corrected? I must be missing something enormous since so many folks have it as their rallying cry.

It offends European and Middle Eastern countries. Oh yeah, anything that offends the Mid East offends Europe. Remember the Oil-for-Food Scandal? Remember Europeans selling munitions to Sadam DURING UN sanctions? Wonder what they are selling to Iran?
