While the article (Washington Post, "Guantanamo Bay: Why Obama hasn't fulfilled his promise to close the facility") steered clear of laying blame at anyone's feet (instead seeming to insinuate a sort of collective blame), when it comes to Guantanamo Bay, the politics of fear and cynicism have won out over any promised hope or change.
