Hi Burt,
Nice treatment of this very timely topic. Your 'Rolling Stone' interviewee was ideal for bouncing the question we all have as to President Obama's waffleling on closing Gitmo.

The whole world is watching to see if America can salvage any of it's former status as the home of the free. We're now known as the home of the free to torture and imprison without trial whenever we feel like it.

Obama must close Gitmo at the earliest possible point in time. There's not enough ink in DC to print legal briefs justifying the darkest period in American history bar none.
