Closing it should be a priority for every red-blooded, freedom loving, "communist" hating American. Holding people in indefinite detention without charge or trial and torture, both of which occur at Gitmo, are chief among the reasons Americans were opposed to communist regimes. Growing up in the 1950's, I was taught that these were primary reasons why we had to oppose communism in Russia, among other nations. The right of habeas corpus, the right to face your accuser and know the evidence against you, the right to be free from torture are all central to American values. We cannot win any "war on terror" when we do not honor our own values. To date the U.S. federal courts have prosecuted successfully more "terrorists" than have the kangaroo courts in Gitmo. We do not need this place, nor the techniques practised there to defend ourselves from our enemies. There is nothing "communist" about the determination to close Gitmo.

Compromise our intelligence operations. 2. release dangerous terrorists and never catch another one because they don't have a warrant. 3. allow the jihadists their dream of a mushroom cloud over New York City. Americans will head to Washington from far and wide to get their hands on those responsible (pelosi, reid, hussein, et al) Hopefully after that, we will restrict the vote to taxpayers, property owners, and those who have served in the military. So close it, Hussein, Close GITMO now! Let the freedom fighters be free at last, free at last, thank god almighty they free at last!!!

Now BO has to make policy instead of merely criticizing it. What very BO ends up doing, his results are going be far closer to Bush's policy than BO's campaign rhetoric.
