Gitmo to close during B. Hussein Obama’s first week! (if not first day)

obama-picture.jpgSo much for this interview with ABC yesterday.

It’s unlikely the detention facility at the Navy base in Cuba will be closed anytime soon. In an interview last weekend, Obama said it would be “a challenge” to close it even within the first 100 days of his administration. But the order, which one adviser said could be issued as early as Jan. 20, would start the process of deciding what to do with the estimated 250 al-Qaida and Taliban suspects and potential witnesses who are being held there. Most have not been charged with a crime.

This is a direct result, no doubt, of progressive consternation at his backtracking yesterday on his promise to close Gitmo in the first 100 days.

Fast forward to Monday, Jan 12th, 2009, aka today. Fox News has mentioned that President-elect Barack Obama is preparing to issue an executive order his first week in office — and perhaps his first day — to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, according to two presidential transition team advisers.

I know a perfect place to send these terrorists, how about Chicago, IL? They’d fit in perfectly there!

HOPE AND CHANGE! FREE THE TERRORISTS!
