Biden Aides Launch Review Into Closing Guantanamo Prison, Long A Source Of Discord

[Reuters] President Joe Biden’s aides have launched a formal review of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, reviving the Obama-era goal of closing the controversial facility with the aim of doing so before he leaves office, the White House said on Friday.

Aides involved in internal discussions are considering an executive action to be signed by Biden in coming weeks or months, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters, signaling a new effort to remove what human rights advocates have called a stain on America’s global image.

Asked whether Biden would shut the high-security prison located at the Guantanamo Naval Station by the time his presidency ends, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters: “That certainly is our goal and our intention.”

#2 Wasn't Obama going to do this to? And , why is this such a big topic for these idiots? I'm sure there are US prisons all over the world we don't know about.

#3 Gee, I'd forgotten it was a 'source of discord'. I'm sure hashing it around again will reduce the discord! I can feel it ebbing away even now.

#5 His "aides" are reviewing this. Once the order is written Biden will sign it. He'll sign anything put in front of him.

#7 I thought the only 'discord' was that it was taking so long to get a serious, multi rope gallows up.

Nothing but gibberish for 20 years...gibberish from the military commission lawyers and judges, gibberish from the bureaucrats surrounding the supposed trials, and even more pontificating from the self righteous gibberishing politicians on both sides...why many of them have made a career out of it don't ya know. The plain truth is their little azzs are just too scared to litigate!

But still no justice for the families of the 9/111 victims!

I will have to say that every time the US Attorneys Office got a Terror case in US Courts they have been successful and convicted the terrorists...BG Martins and his military commissions crew not so much...but they are a fixin to prosecute one of these decades!
