Sigh. Facts, people! ratbastid the broken record part 3:
PolitiFact | Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center - Obama promise No. 177:
One paragraph version: Obama's 2nd-day-in-office order to transfer detainees out of Gitmo got hung up when the Senate denied authorization and funding for it. PolitiFact rated it "stalled" until October 2009, when the House authorized moving some Gitmo detainees stateside for trial, and the promise was upgraded to "in the works". Last month the administration announced that they're working on prepping a new facility in Illinois to put the Guantanamo detainees who need to be kept, and closing the Guantanamo facility.
They also point out that the one year timeframe was something the administration "hoped to accomplish", not, strictly speaking, a promise.
I had a really great rant typed here about how people are more interested in validating their opinion than in the facts, but it wouldn't make any difference anyway, and I didn't like how worked up I got typing it. So let's not worry about that part. Suffice to say, it kind of seems, in this thread, like I'm the only guy at the party who can see that everyone else has their pants on backwards.
