Biden Administration Quietly Moves To Start Closing Guantánamo Prison

 

NBC: Biden quietly moves to start closing Guantánamo ahead of 20th anniversary of 9/11 

The Biden team wants to avoid what it sees as mistakes made by Obama. "They don't want it to become a lightning rod," said a former senior official. 

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has quietly begun efforts to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, using an under-the-radar approach to minimize political blowback and to try to make at least some progress in resolving a long-standing legal and human rights morass before the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. 

After initial plans for a more aggressive push to close the facility — including rebuffed attempts to recruit a special envoy to oversee the strategy — the White House changed course, sources said. 

The administration has opted to wait before it reaches out to Congress, which has thwarted previous efforts to close the camp, because of fears that political outcry might interfere with the rest of Biden's agenda.

Haven't heard from Lapides lately, he must have gotten in touch ( in a manner of speaking) with his male ex-student.

Biden to Celebrate 20th Anniversary of 9/11 by Freeing Gitmo Terrorists

The Democrat Party is the Enemy of the People.

Who else frees people plotting a nuclear attack against the citizens?

"Paracha "also discussed nuclear attacks and attacks against nuclear power plants" and had an idea for “al-Qaida to attack a nuclear power plant”."


Even Hollywood gets that one right. In the film Sum of all Fears, the people, who plotted and carried out a nuclear attack against the US were hunted down.

"the participants in the conspiracy are tracked and assassinated: Olson is killed by Clark in his home in Damascus, the corrupt Russian general is gunned down by Russian agents, and Dressler is blown up in his car by Grushkov."

" The Gitmo dossier for Paracha first details a plan to use his “textile business to smuggle explosives into the US” and these "ready-made explosives, specifically C4" would go into shipping containers full of "women and children's clothing". "
