I'm still laughing at the guy who said the price of gas was coming down, "now that was have an honest man in there."

If I am getting this right, Obambi orders Gitmo and all the black sites closed... why? Gitmo houses accused terrorist await trial. The only thing closing Gitmo accomplishes is to necessitate that we move the same people to a different place, most likely within the US since no one else will have them. We can't free them, also, because no one will have them (with the exception of the terrorist that we took them from). So, Obambi signs an order to close one prison for the purpose of incurring the costs and logistical challenges of building a new prison, transporting all his buddies to their new digs and leaving every conceivable other facet of things intact. How does this make any sense or benefit anyone? Wouldn't it have been cheaper and easier to simply rename Gitmo to "Unicorn House" or "Misunderstood Fundamentalist Housing Committee" or something? And why would anyone think that signing an executive order that accomplishes nothing other than necessitating executive waivers and exceptions is progress of any sort?
