This is shocking to anyone who ever thought a cost benefit analysis could save money, make a system more efficient or maybe set a deadline to stop broken system from going on forever.

Didn't Obama close that place? I now see that he didn't. He was one, POS president, wasn't he?

That's what the current president says. I guess if they are both guilty of this same thing you're going to have to judge them both the same way.

Give the animals an FMJ golden-ticket to meet some virgins and close it, then.

I don't judge them the same way. Obama was a horrible president. Trump is a great one.

Did you ever imagine the USA stuffing private prisons full of thousands of people, to be held indefinitely without rights to trial or bond hearings, for minor immigration violations? Guantanamo Bay was the jumping off point and its case law was cited in recent court rulings enabling the current human rights atrocities occurring within our borders. Maybe firing squads will be useful if the recent intentionally cruel policy of ending vaccines for prisoners fails to kill off the population before an epidemic spreads to the general population. You know, many of the vaccines that keep us all safe, become ineffective in a major outbreak.

Cost benefit analysis.....................How many prisoners were released from Gitmo and went back to being terrorists................... How many People died because they were released...............How much money was saved by their release????...............If all you count is the cash money, you can find a definitive cost in lives per dollar saved..............If you count lives saved instead of money, then the dollar amount becomes insignificant...

Obama one week before he left about the GOP's block to close it down: "They have placed politics above the ongoing costs to taxpayers, our relationships with our allies, and the threat posed to U.S. national security by leaving open a facility that governments around the world condemn and which hinders rather than helps our fight against terrorism."

So there's that.
