Bush to Close Guantanamo
July 02, 2008 7:06 PM

EDIT: LINK: http://blogs.abcnews.com/legalities/2008/07/bush-to-close-g.html

President Bush will soon decide whether to close Guantanamo Bay as a prison for al-Qaeda suspects, sources tell ABC News. High-level discussions among top advisers have escalated in the past week, with the most senior administration officials in continuous talks about the future of the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay--and how it will be dramatically changed and/or closed in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling that gave detainees there access to federal courts.

Sources have confirmed that President Bush is expected to be briefed on these pressing GTMO issues--and may reach a decision on the future of the naval base as a prison for al Qaeda suspects--before he leaves for the G8 on Saturday. An announcement, however, is not expected before he leaves the country.

High-level administration officials say the Court's decision dramatically changes the legal landscape--and raises questions about whether the government has solid evidence to present to federal judges to justify ongoing detentions.

That evidence, much of it classified and obtained by military and CIA personnel on the battlefield, is not the standard kind of proof judges are accustomed to seeing in regular criminal cases here, administration officials say. The documents do not contain the kind of detail—or include sources of that information—that’s typical in criminal cases, sources say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I guess it could have been worse. The US could have been killing them instead?!?!?!?!??!??!?!??!?!?!?!??!

Let's give them back to the Afghan and Iraqi governments to do what they want with them. Or send them across the ocean in an old freighter that the Navy could mistake for a bombing practice target.

Why close it? They could keep it open while still providing for the legal rights that the SCOTUS ruled they should have.

And thanks to that really bad court decision the US will be killing them instead. There will be no point taking them as prisoners if they cant be interrogated and they have to take enemy combatants to court while the main witnesses are on the battlefield risking their life to save us. It's much easier to just kill them.
