A lot of people are confused about how a succession of US presidents, nominally commanders in chief, can say publicly they hope to close Gitmo, only to have Gitmo stay open. Are we not looking at a treasonous level of insubordination?
Plans to spin-off Gitmo, give it back to the Cubans, have already been drawn up, with dates and everything. Those running the place may be held back for interviews, which could lead to future jobs. The prisoners need a place to detox and reconnect with family. Those running Gitmo will have no responsibilities over prisoners ever again is the hope. They have failed to obey the president and are dropping in rank by the day.
Having Gitmo on one's resume in any way adds to the stench of one's portfolio. Those connected to Gitmo have something shameful on their record that I recommend hiding. This was the Nazi Chapter, when Neocons were out of control and behaved contrary to democratic values. After a president says he wants to close the place, continuing to obey orders is a Nuremberg thing. A Hall of Shame is being prepared in the historical record.
