			<description><![CDATA[Mr. Obama has repeatedly stated that his first duty is "to protect the American people". I think that he thinks he is doing this by keeping Guantanamo open, even though he vowed to close it 4 years ago, by supporting the expansion and perpetuation of the surveillance state apparatus, and by continuing the assassination by drone program. We need to keep reminding him and each other that his first duty is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Perhaps if he understood his job description he would begin to perform accordingly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Clues to the "why" of Guantanamo still being open can be found in James Bradley's, "The Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and War", Bradley being the author, too, of "Flags of Our Fathers". He pulls together our dabblings in the Pacific and in the Caribbean into an enjoyable and head-shaking read though evidence and references have been out there and available to the curious the whole while. Lili'uokalani and Pearl Harbor, and the battleship Maine and Guantanamo must be seen as a piece, sadly! Your students will be lucky to have you and if there is any place that will allow you to continue, it will be Hawai'i.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why is Gitmo still open? I have a better question. Why do 'progressives' think Barry Obama was ever a 'progressive?' Aside from his skin color? Be careful how you answer. President Obama claims the authority to kill American citizens without judicial oversight--in the name of winning Bush's 'war on terrorism.' Obama's cousin Dick Cheney would be proud!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Because no member of Congress would or does support moving the occupants to any (particularly their own) state in the Union, although some states welcomed the idea because of the jobs it meant. How quickly the nation forgets the events of the country so very very quickly. No wonder we are in so much trouble. How can we expect we have learned anything from our past, when we can't seem to even have remembered yesterday. Which is why as a nation we all too often find ourselves doomed to repeating the mistakes of the past.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Someone described it as the fourth Bush administration. An independent commission is needed to review the case of each detainee. An independent commission is needed to recommend indictments on Wall Street. An independent commission is needed to study use of law enforcement agencies to target 1st amendment protected protestors. When I say independent I do not mean politically appointed. No one with skin in the game should have any role in selecting commissioners. Won't happen but it should.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The CIA does not run the place. They are simply one of the thuggish groups used by big business to maintain The Empire. Laws have nothing to do with this, the examples are countless. Laws will be configured and decided to appease the owners. If you think closing the CIA is a salvation you are sorely mistaken, that would merely be a band-aid. What you are suggesting is like saying getting rid of the Pinkerton's will rid us of the Rockefeller's.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Absolutely agree with you, RMDC, good article, extremely educating and frightening. Also, extremely frightening, is the lingo in a section of Article 21 in last year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which at first, Pres. Obama said he intended to veto. Then, very quietly on New Year's Eve, sign it this former Constitutional Law prof. pres. did, with the brightest of our bright, from all and no political parties and bents, aghast. Of course, little and no coverage in the 'mess media', while the Hedges, et. al. v. Obama et. al. initial hearing made front page headlines in the U.K.'s Guardian. Now, with Pres. Obama's again this month signing the 2013 NDAA, which includes for a second time 'indefinite detention' approval. we should be even more frightened, insofar as this year's NDAA is still worse, due to its inclusion of shut down inability re. Guantanamo. The hefty question looms even larger: Has Obama been bought off or scared off or both? Your mention of the CIA's evil ties to wannabe controllers/bre aker uppers of the CIA, Nixon and JFK, frightens me even more. We are in such a huge, longtime coming mess. Scarey and evil as hell it is.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good article. Guantanamo is a CIA operation. The CIA believes it is above all laws. In fact, it was created to break laws. Laws don't apply at Guantanamo. But the CIA runs perhaps hundreds of Guantanamos all over the world. This is waht the CIA does. Instead of closing Guantanamo, we need to kill the snake by cutting its head off. Close the CIA. If the CIA were closed 90% of the conflicts in the world would end. Close the CIA. But the last president who mentioned breaking up the CIA was JFK and he ended up with a bullet in his head. Nixon also tried to gain control of the CIA and he was forced to resign. I guess it won't happen in American, the land of the free and the home of the brave. The CIA runs the place.]]></description>
