Which is why the Mahdi is determined to close Camp Gitmo before he leaves office. academic leftists whose worldview strongly influences his cannot stand for the US to have such an advantage as Guantanamo bay in dealing with Islamist terrorists . They view those at Gitmo as a sort of freedom fighter battling America's unjust global hegemony. The Gitmo inmates deserve full constitutional protection and a trial in US courts so that the evil US schemes can be fully ventilated in the court of public opinion according to BHO’s associates and mentors. Also in many cases it is probable that there is not enough evidence that can be used in a court of law to sustain a prosecution so many of these ‘freedom fighters’ will have to be let go if Gitmo closes.BHO may not buy all of that meme but he is obliged to the likes of Bill Ayers enough to be obligated to close the Guantanamo facility before he departs the White House. Beyond that, I believe he will attempt to retrocede the Navy Station at Guantanamo Bay back to Cuba to (1) make sure the US will never again be able to send prisoners from the war against Islamic terrorism to such a facility and (2) it will prove his ‘anti-colonialist bona fides to the Castro regime.
I agree that his ultimate goal is to abandon the base at Guantanamo and let it go back to the Cubans. Although I think that would require congressional approval, that has not been a deterrent to his lawlessness so far. He’s just a common pig.
