Gitmo Upgrade: US to spend $40 million on renovation

[The Northerner]

Despite promises to close Guantanamo Bay, Washington is now preparing to invest tens of millions into renovating the controversial facility's infrastructure. ­The Pentagon is planning to install a $40-million fiber optic cable at Guantanamo, and the base's commanders say such a long term investment in infrastructure makes sense only if the US intends to continue operating the base.

U.S. lawyer and attorney, Eric Montalvo, who's represented some of the detainees at Guantanamo, believes the American leadership is totally failing to practice what it preaches.


So, why is it being renovated and not being closed by now?

Also, where are the trials for those suspected of committing "terrorism"?

3. It was Congress that refused to let the Guantanamo prisoners be transferred

to Federal Supermax Prisons on the mainland as the President proposed, therefore Guantanamo cannot be closed.
