the deeply controversial "war on terror" prison in Cuba

Its only controversial because Democrats have been lying about it for years. Now they own it, and don't know what to do with it. Its hard to do a climb-down in public, with everyone watching, but they are trying. Obama extended it. The Dems in congress nixed closing it. But they can't admit its a good, humane, well-run prison just right off the bat so they'll twist and squirm until they've got the new narrative figured out.

Debra Burlingame (sp) wrote a piece for the WSJ about the meeting Obama had with the 9/11 and Cole families in the White House. She got him to admit that Gitmo had been unjustly demonized and smeared for political reasons and when she asked him why he didn't just use his bully pulpit and high poll numbers to explain the truth and redeem Gitmo's reputation instead of going thru the charade of closing it, he shrugged and moved on.

So, he knows the truth and reality he's just pandering to the socialists world-wide.
