He didn't lie...he was correct in trying to close Gitmo. Gitmo is a symbol of American denial of human rights and torture
What Obama found when he became president is that Republicans had poisoned the well. They had created a class of non-citizens who had their rights violated. It is tough to go to court with evidence obtained through torture or evidence from anonymous sources
The first thing Republicans did when Obama was elected was stir up the propaganda that Obama was going to house terrorists in your backyard. Congress quickly passed legislation preventing Gitmo prisoners from entering the US
So, what do we do?
Continue to imprison "enemies" without any evidence and without a right to respond to charges? Is that what America is about?
What torture has taken place at Gitmo?
How do you know they have been imprisoned "without any evidence"? You have access to all the evidence for every prisoner on Gitmo?
The only "propaganda" being thrown around is by liberals like you who repeat claims with nothing to back them up, like Gitmo is torturing prisoners who are there with "no evidence".
