A lot of the detainees have been cleared of any wrongdoing, but they continue to languish in that godforsaken hell hole.
Obama deserves credit for at least trying to close that place down. However, I'm curious about the Republican reaction to Obama's press conference today.
My gut tells me they would like to keep that torture chamber open forever even though they know innocent people have been indefinitely detained for over a decade. No trial. No jury. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
I've been perusing the news and haven't seen any GOP reaction. Anything from those sick and twisted sadomasochists?
