U.S. operation of the Guantanamo Bay prison facility is “contrary to our values” and is seen as “a stain on our broader record” of upholding the highest rules of law, President Obama said Tuesday, calling for closing the prison.
The administration’s plan to close the prison is “not expected to go very far,” as the Two-Way reported earlier today. Devised by the Pentagon, the plan outlines how a shutdown might work – something that was requested by Congress. But it comes months after lawmakers from both parties approved legislation that prohibits the president from moving detainees onto American soil.
President Obama made his case for the plan at a live event at the White House.
No… Really?!? Glad somebody finally figured this out…
