- java-man 2y agoI vaguely remember someone with the Nobel Peace Prize promising to close the base. What happened?
- kccoder 2y agoThis is a pretty thorough rundown of what happened [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp#Plans_for_closing_of_camp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp#...]. It appears an earnest attempt was made, but was blocked by a republican-held congress. During Trump's first term he signed an EO to keep it open indefinitely. Even if Obama had closed it, do you think that would've dissuaded Trump from reopening it to create his freshly-minted, extrajudicial concentration camp?
