Obama tried

to close Guantanamo, where approx 180 prisoners have been held, without a trial, for over 10 years, at a cost of over $800 million/year, BUT the Pubs have fought him at every turn. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/01/us/guantanamo-adds-medical-staff-amid-hunger-strike.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20130501 Now, with no end in sight, they are on a hunger strike, to kill themselves, just like I would probably do. Low level prisoners, caught in a legal web, after the Bushies attacked Iraq (based on lies) with bundles of hundred dollar bills, for anyone who would implicate a 'Taliban'. Now, cuz Obama has been overruled by the Pubs, a huge contingent of Dr's and nurses are being sent to Cuba to 'force feed' the prisoners who have never had a hearing. Unbelievable', but typical for the Pubs, for whom logic isn't part of their thinking process. Charge 'em and try 'em, jail 'em, if guilty, in one of the hundreds of US prisons, and release the rest. We're supposed to be governed by 'the rule of law'. Just another example of the disfunctional bunch of jerks in Washington, who just 'put it off', instead of making the tough decisions. Millions of dollars per prisoner per year, and now it'll be more, as they are force fed. UNbelievable....
