I just want to say that I cried this morning when I found out Obama is shutting down Guantanamo Bay. I never thought we’d see this. Hopefully this is a bright sign for a bright future.

A lot of people are angry because they think he is abandoning the cause to stop terriorists, and thats far from what he’s doing. He’s doing it the RIGHT away.
@Sarcastica: Exactly. I got really frustrated with someone because they tried to say Obama was just “letting them go.” That’s not what he’s doing at all. I had to explain to this person that even though some may think terrorists or people accused of being terrorists deserve to be tortured, that is not us. That is not the way the United States behaves.
I’m glad that President Obama is shutting down a facility that is not only a negative symbol of the USA, but also something that we were lied to about for a long time.
I almost fell over when I read this. Finally, someone gets it. Let’s hope his motives truly are pure, and remain so.
@DMI Wench: Hi and welcome!
I think that’s all we can do, is hope. We also have to pay attention to the news and press releases so that we can stand up if we need to. Too many remain ignorant after an election has been won and someone new takes office. We have to stay on our toes!
