Keep in mind that closing Guantanamo Bay Detention Center does not mean that the US will cease to detain terror suspects.  Most of the detainees will be transferred to other facilities, both in the US and abroad.  The executive orders also don't offer any NEW orders concerning torture and the treatment of detainees.  The "official" U.S. line has always been against the use of torture.  The new executive order will simply reiterate the requirement of all U.S. personnel to follow the U.S. Army Field manual while interrogating detainees, which prohibits threats, coercion, physical abuse, and torture.  But according to an Associated Press article, however, "the administration also is planning a study of more aggressive interrogation methods that could be added to the Army manual."

I hope this keeps up my friend

I'm in love :P

worth mentioning, many of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners are going to be brought here to Sweden.

Dave said what's in my mind exactly, closing guantanamo is nothing like exposing guantanamo.
The people need to know what has been going there, how many are detained there and when exactly will they be either freed or given their rights of a fair trial.

It sounds nice, but they will just be dispersed to different facilities, where it will be more difficult to keep track of what's really being done to them. This allows Obama the maximum amount of "wiggle room." Although I heard that moonbat Congressman Jack Murtha wants all of the prisoners to be shipped to his home district of Western Pennsylvania. I can imagine how well THAT will go down with the locals. Then again, any escapees will be quickly hunted down by those same armed locals. ;-)
