Guantanamo may not close

Guantanamo might not close on January like Obama wanted to. this is due to the long process of reviewing each detainees' files. Obama wants to close the prison, because it so is crucial to restore America's view in the world and "to [create] a more effective anti-terror approach." Some of the problems that came with closing the prison were what new rules would military trials have to follow, where the detainees are going to be transferred to, and countries where the ones that are released can be sent to. Both the Democrats and the Republicans believe that it's a bad idea to close the prison. Democrats because Obama's plan isn't clear. Republicans because it's too dangerous at this time. Congress is not funding Obama's plan. The Justice Department and the Pentagon will work together to decide which detainees should be tried in military courts and which in civilian courts. On November sixteen, it will be known which detainees will be prosecuted. Why would Obama want to close a prison where "dangerous" people are being held. some might not deserve it, but why close the prison so quickly. Guantanamo is probably a safer place to have those prisoners because it's in an isolated are and not in an area surrounded by civilians.
