re: #21 Dragon_Lady

I for one will be glad when it’s closed. They have way too much secrecy going on out there that makes me real wary of the military ever telling the truth about whats really going on there. CYA seem to be the policy there and I don’t like it one bit!

Unfortunately closing Gitmo, while important, doesn’t mean we’ll stop holding people off-site elsewhere and without access to council (or a trial). Initial indications are that the ‘New Gitmo’ will be Bagram (and already is, to some extent).
CAP: Postpone Gitmo Close, Send Leftovers to Bagram

Those concerned that the Bagram detention center in Afghanistan is becoming “Obama’s Gitmo,” as it’s increasingly called, may not appreciate Gude’s final recommendation. While Gude would imprison anyone convicted in U.S. criminal courts in U.S. prisons, as we usually do, he recommends transferring anyone now at Guantanamo who will remain in military custody — either to be tried by a military commission or simply to be detained indefinitely — to the U.S.-run prison at Bagram.
