Attorney General vows to close Guantanamo
2:30pm EDT
PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday the United States would close the Guantanamo Bay facility holding terrorism suspects in Cuba, despite missing a previous deadline to do so.
On an official visit to Paris, Holder stressed what he called unprecedented intelligence-sharing ties between France and the United States against a united enemy, al Qaeda, that he said still held the two countries and its allies in its sights.
The recent killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was unlikely to affect the timing of the closure of the Guantanamo facility, Holder said.
"Although we have not closed Guantanamo within the time period that we initially indicated ... it is still the intention of the president, and it is still my intention, to close the facility that exists in Guantanamo," Holder told a joint news briefing with French Interior Minister Claude Gueant.
"We think that by closing that facility the national security of the United States will be enhanced," he added.

Before the next POTUS locks them up in it.
Be surprised if these treacherous bastards don't give the whole treaty area back to their commie Cuban comrades ahead of schedule.
Who has more wives, Obama’s brother or Osama Bin Laden?
I can see it now, " The USA Deeds Guantanamo to Fidel Castro"
Do not laugh. These Obama idiots could do just that.
Holder is Dangerous.
Really want to believe it!
