AP reports:
Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday the Guantanamo detention center is a well-run, professional facility that will be difficult to close — but he’s still going to do it. Holder visited the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on Monday and spoke to reporters about his trip during a news conference Wednesday.
Closing Guantanamo, he said, “will not be an easy process. It’s one we will do in a way that ensures that people are treated fairly and that the American people are kept safe.”
…
He said he did not witness any rough treatment of detainees, and in fact found the military staff and leadership performing admirably.“I did not witness any mistreatment of prisoners. I think, to the contrary, what I saw was a very conscious attempt by these guards to conduct themselves in an appropriate way,” he said.
In other words, AG Eric Holder said Gitmo aint broke so President Barack Obama is fixing it. I’m sure they both hope that al Qaeda will change its ways, close its 150 terrorist training camps in Pakistan, and stop butchering people in the many places they are operating in response to Guantanamo closing.
