LOL! You have no idea just how ridiculous you sound.
As these posts evolve, you move farther and farther into Saint McCainhood, knighting him Sir John in his new found infallibility on all matters, past and present, as you reduce the argument to the absurd.
In fact, your statement is 100% WRONG.
Closing GITMO is a both a basic issue and a canard of the most loony leftists in this country today.
“You have no idea just how ridiculous you sound.”

Well because you say it’s so it must be true. On the other hand perhaps you would like to offer some evidence for your claim.
John McCain has supported military tribunals for Gitmo prisoners. His position is not to give them habeas corpus rights, but to try them in military courts. You don’t need Gitmo to do that.
Personnally I don’t think we need to close Gitmo, but I also don’t think we need Gitmo in order to try them in military courts. For some reason you assume that we do. Is there some legal precedent you want to cite, or do you think we should just take your word on that?
