Never mind closing Guantanamo. It might be getting bigger.
President Barack Obama is running out of time to fulfill his longstanding promise to shutter the prison at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Sixty inmates remain in the facility and only a third are cleared for release.
If Obama can’t close it, his successor likely won’t. Donald Trump has not only pledged to keep Guantanamo open, in April he said that “we’re gonna load it up with some bad dudes, believe me. We’re gonna load it up.” …

Man, where were you during the campaign? Promising to make Gitmo bigger and make Saudi Arabia pay for it would have given him a 3-point bump in the final vote tallies.

When Obama says, “believe me,” grab your wallet and family and head for the hills.

So keep it open then.
More posts for more Military Police Navy.
I ain’t going to GITMO. No problem with it staying open.
No problem with waterboarding either.
But, I have a shirt that says “I’d rather be waterboarding”
(Yeah, I’m that guy)

Also, change Gitmo into a prison - not a radical Islamist madrassa
No more halal meals, no more handling the Koran with gloves (in fact, no more Korans at all), no more allowing the Alpha males to impose their religion on others, no more calls to prayer.
You don’t give heroin addicts drugs. Why give Islamists their hateful religion?
