Hey, here's a nutty idea! Why don't we wait to see if Gitmo actually closes! 
Even by Obama's elevated standards, he'll be overseeing Gitmo for at least a 
year, so anything can happen. Personally, I think he will close it. Bad PR. 
Not consistent with our "values." Hey, Bush closed Abu Ghraib. Where's his 
love?

I see that the US killed 18 people in Pakistan today. Your first hit, Mr. 
President! Welcome aboard!
