Just heard about this, I am personally over the moon, I seriously think this is a huge step toward repairing the bridges with much of the world's muslim communities...

I thought he was going to take 2 years to close it - so doing it in 1 year is good. I'd like to see if any of them get compensation if proven innocent, some of those guys have been locked away for 6+ years without a trial.
The entire place flies in the face of American's own constitution and people's right to a fair and speedy trial.

Fucking good news.
Now we just need him to ditch the stupid missile shield project, recognise there is such thing as global warming, stop taking Israel's side blindly and stop bombing and interfering with countries that don't conform to the neconservative America rule book, and we'll have a President that has achieved more positive things than all his predecessors put together.
Home.
