Obama’s Shattered Dream to Kill Gitmo

[Geee]

Front Page Magazine:

While the public eye was focused on the signing of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal bill, and while the media was regaled at the White House by a special presidential briefing, the Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which included a ban on the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to the U.S. The ban may be a death knell for the administration’s goal to shutter the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, as well as its push for detainee civilian trials. In effect, the Obama administration will be forced into handling captured terrorists in a way that is not appreciably different from the Bush administration. Military commissions will reign, and Guantanamo Bay will be their venue.
