Let's face facts: Obama has no intention of closing Guantanamo.
Four years ago, lest we forget, the closure of Guantánamo took pride of place in President Obama's concerns at his Inauguration. Now, four years on, there was not a word about Guantánamo at his second Inauguration on Monday, and those who are not seduced by fine-sounding rhetoric were left to reflect on how, four years ago, candidate Obama's fine words turned to ash almost as soon as he had issued his executive order promising to close Guantánamo within a year -- Andy Worthington
It's up to us to end 11 years of injustice.
