That place should have been shut down forever ago.
It didn't happen under a Democrat controlled Congress so there is no chance in hell that the Republicans are going to do it.
it actually can happen now. He doesn't need to run for reelection anymore
talk the talk but don't walk the walk
Didn't he sign an executive order in 2009 saying that the prison would be closed by the end of the year?
Yeah whatever obama.
I thought it had already been closed
It should have been shut down as soon as it open hence it should have never been open
Déjà vu

He did, in 2009, as well as one saying that federal authorities had to make preparations to transfer them to another facility on US soil so that they could be tried. However, this was never done.
