Just a few hours after his inauguration, President Obama signed an executive order calling for the closing of the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention center in Cuba. His caper to move the jihadists to northwestern Illinois, which Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) called "a dream come true," was blocked by the then-Democratic controlled Congress. Now AFP is reporting that Obama still wants to close Gitmo.
Does he have any idea as to what to do with the terrorists incarcerated there?
