Typical regressive simple-minded ignorance.
"On 22nd January 2009, President Barack Obama signed an order to suspend
the proceedings of the Guantanamo military commission for 120 days and
to shut down the detention facility within the year.[11][12] On 29th
January 2009, a military judge at Guantanamo rejected the White House
request in the case of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, creating an unexpected
challenge for the administration as it reviewed how the United States
brings Guantanamo detainees to trial.[13] On 20th May 2009, the United
States Senate passed an amendment to the Supplemental Appropriations Act
of 2009 (H.R. 2346) by a 90–6 vote to block funds needed for the
transfer or release of prisoners held at the Guantanamo Bay detention
camp.[14] President Obama issued a Presidential memorandum dated 15th
December 2009, ordering Thomson Correctional Center, Thomson, Illinois
to be prepared to accept transferred Guantanamo prisoners.[15]
The Final Report of the Guantanamo Review Task Force, dated 22nd January
2010, published the results for the 240 detainees subject to the Review:
36 were the subject of active cases or investigations; 30 detainees from
Yemen were designated for 'conditional detention' due to the poor
security environment in Yemen; 126 detainees were approved for transfer;
48 detainees were determined 'too dangerous to transfer but not feasible
for prosecution'.[16]
On 07th January 2011, President Obama signed the 2011 Defense
Authorization Bill, which, in part, placed restrictions on the transfer
of Guantanamo prisoners to the mainland or to foreign countries, thus
impeding the closure of the facility.[17] U.S. Secretary of Defense
Gates said during testimony before the U.S. Senate Armed Services
Committee on 17th February 2011: "The prospects for closing Guantanamo
as best I can tell are very, very low given very broad opposition to
doing that here in the Congress."[18] Congress particularly opposed
moving prisoners to facilities in the United States for detention or
trial.[18]"
