By Steve McGough / May 21, 2009 /

Of course, he blames the Bush administration for this entire mess and states that Guantanamo Bay should never have been opened in the first place. Of course, he says he has a plan, but what if there is no funding for it and citizens don’t want to have these terrorists on US soil? Similar to…

Smacked into reality concerning Guantanamo detainees

In what I only can describe as a smack to the head, President Obama’s request for $80 million in supplemental funding to close Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba was voted down by a 90-6 vote in the Senate this afternoon. This is not unexpected since politicians have a habit of speaking a great game…

That’s the way I figured it, and my figuring is confirmed. As I noted on Jan. 22, 2009, President Obama had no plan at all – let alone a workable one – to close Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay. He won’t meet his self-imposed deadline, and now many think Gitmo may never be closed.

A classified Pentagon assessment measuring the recidivism rate of released Guantanamo detainees indicates one in five – 20 percent – of them return to jihad.

Even though President Obama directed the U.S. government to purchase the Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Ill. and house no more than 100 detainees from Guantanamo Bay in the facility, Congress still represents the people, and Congress may block Obama’s plan.
