U.S.A. and the Gitmo sore

A glutton for punishment, but President Obama is dead right to again moot closure of the Guantanamo Bay 'facility' housing terrorism suspects. Even if likening the jail to Hitler's concentration camps is difficult to prove by international critics ... there's no escaping (pun intended) the fact that the very existence of this 'running sore' flies in the face of U.S. foreign policy claiming  to be absolutely compatible with their much vaunted doctrine of democracy founded on freedoms guaranteed by 'rule of law'. While 'Gitmo' remains, that doctrine stinks of hypocrisy!

However, good luck Barack trying to convince the G.O.P. far right element that they should support the closure, if only to protect U.S. integrity.
