Now Democrats are ganging up on President Barack Obama’s plans to shut down the Guantanamo Bay prison. Or rather, the president’s lack of planning for how to shutter the prison and how to handle the detainees.
“They say, ‘We’re going to close Guantanamo.’ OK, fine. How are you going to do that? That’s the question,” Rep. Neal Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) told POLITICO Thursday. “They should have had that worked out from the get-go.”
Maybe they should have had a plan before making the promise. It’s not like they haven’t had time; Obama’s been making that same promise for over two years, as a candidate and then as President. He had access to intelligence and military briefings, as well as the luxury of hundreds of advisers.
