Gates Defends Decision To Close Guantanamo Prison

[Nonno]

"Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the Obama administration had no choice but to order the shutdown of the prison at Guantanamo because "the name itself is a condemnation" of U.S. anti-terrorism strategy.

In an interview broadcast Friday on NBC's "Today" show, Gates called the facility on the island of Cuba "probably one of the finest prisons in the world today." But at the same time, he said it had become "a taint" on the reputation of America.

Gates has served both President George W. Bush and now Barack Obama at the Pentagon. In an interview taped Thursday aboard the retired World War II-era battleship USS Intrepid, the defense secretary said that once the decision was made to close Guantanamo, "the question is, where do you put them?" He said Obama would do nothing to endanger the public and said there has never been an escape from a "super-max" prison in this country."

So: Gates is admitting that Guantanomo is a good prison, but they think if they move the prisoners elsewhere ,do the same thing we are doing at Guantanomo ,the situation will go away.

Duh!

Appearances are more important than reality to these idiots.
The Obamination seems to think moving the terrorists to U.S. soil is about prison/containment facilities but the reality is it's about what happens when they come here, get court appointed lawyers, get released, sue the government and use their payoff to finance another terror attack.
