Not "impossible," not even difficult. Actually the easiest thing in the world. There are plenty of military bases in the US with all the space and resources needed to set up a Prisoner-of-War Camp fully compliant with the Geneva Conventions. No logistic reason that could not be done in a day or two. No logistic reason why the prisoners couldn't be flown there in less time than that. If they're still-- illegally--at the--illegal--Guantanamo base, its because Obama prefers to keep them there. His reason to prefer so may stem from cowardice much more than from malice--but its *his* prison now.
