It's pretty amusing to drop a bomb on a thread like this and watch the dissociative thinking kick in. In his first executive order Obama said he would close Gitmo. The question is, why hasn't he? The answer is, Glen Campbell took a chainsaw to a couch. That's from Bobert, who has a moral blindspot the size of Jupiter when it comes to Obama.

At any rate, I have to wonder if the fiber optic system from Gitmo is being upgraded so Obama can get better feeds of the atrocities being committed there. Day-old snuff films may seem pretty tame to him by now. Maybe he wants fresh meat. Live screams from the waterboarding, things like that.

And I repeat:

Sec. 3. Closure of Detention Facilities at Guantánamo. The detention facilities at Guantánamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order. If any individuals covered by this order remain in detention at Guantánamo at the time of closure of those detention facilities, they shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.
