The Obama adminstration better believe they are going to feel pressure and heat from those of us who know the truth about Gitmo. MAF has produced a commercial which you can see here.
There is no logic behind closing gitmo. It is safe and humane, as Obama’s report shows.

There is no logic behind anything that the Obama administration has done yet. Except to position themselves for having more power!

30 days in office and he has already tanked the economy. This is just the beginning. The left will go NUTS over this report.

I can actually see Obama’s logic in closing it. It has become a symbol and a rallying point. If you close it, it takes that away.

Doesn’t mean in a time of war we can’t reestablish it.

What you do with the prisoners is a different issue. Hopefully, Obama won’t just set them free.

Oh no. No, no, no NO!

He promised to close Gitmo. He has to close it.

Put the terrorists in San Francisco, Boston, New York and Johnstown PA.

No welching, Obama. You promised to close it.

I haven’t looked at the Geneva Convention in a long time, but I don’t think it applies to people like terrorists. I think it applies to uniformed soldiers.

Did he finally have one brain cell left and find out the question everyone is asking: ‘WHERE DO YOU PUT THE PRISONERS?” (IF YOU CLOSE GITMO).

Why are Jihadists given such a comfortable lifestyle at our expense?

Shouldn’t they have been executed on the battlefield?

I’ll be right back. I’m going out to buy a copy of the NY Times, because surely this is on the front page, above the fold, how Gitmo was humane all along...

I hope you don't mind me providing a bit of news analysis. I call it: Gitmo complies with Geneva: al Qaeda's lawyers slam Bam, Pentagon report

Click the image to watch a 30-second slide show about Guantanamo Bay No less than the New York Times reports:

A Pentagon report requested by President Obama on the conditions at the Guantánamo Bay detention center concludes that the prison complies with the humanitarian requirements of the Geneva conventions, but it makes many recommendations for increasing human contact among the prisoners, according to two government officials who have read portions of it. ... The review, requested by President Obama [emphasis added mine] on the second day of his administration, is due to be delivered to the White House this weekend.
Unsurprisingly, the Times editorialized in its news report and accused the current administration of ordering a report, with a predictable outcome, to further its political agenda:
The request, made as part of a plan to close the center within a year, was widely seen as an effort by the new administration to defuse the power of allegations during the Bush administration that there were widespread abuses at Guantánamo, and that many detainees were suffering severe psychological effects after years of isolation.
"Widely seen" by whom? The obvious answer is widely seen by the editors at the Times and al Qaeda's lawyers. Yet the hilarious part the Times saved for the end, one of those lawyers slamming President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder:
“This is really running the risk that the review is just a big whitewash,” [a lawyer for Guantánamo detainees at the Center for Constitutional Rights Gitanjali] Gutierrez added, “and we expect more of the new administration.”
In law offices big and small across the nation, 500 lawyers must be hyperventilating into small brown paper bags.

"a series of steps that could be taken to allow detainees to speak to one another more often and to engage in group activities..."

...like conspiracies and rioting.

The only credible argument for closing Gitmo is that it would be more efficient to kill terrorists upon capture.
