Camp Delta 1, Guantanamo Bay Cuba - Still Open for Business

Aug. 2, 2007: Sen. Barack Obama makes a simple promise he will often repeat to loud domestic -- and foreign -- applause during his $750 million presidential campaign:

"As President, I will close Guantanamo, reject the Military Commissions Act and adhere to the Geneva Conventions."

Way to go Barry! You sure knocked this one out of the park!

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

No way! I guess the "do nothing Senate" is blocking him.

I guess he found out why Guantanamo exists, and that closing it is just a pie in the sky feel good fantasy.

I just saw some numbers on how much it cost per prisoner to keep this camp open, expensive, even more than college tuition.

Recall, one of Obama's early orders was to fully embrace redention - that is if a suspect is a possible terrorist you could wind up in a hell hole in Egypt or Devils Island for "discussions". GITMO is a paradise in comparison.
