   The Guantanamo Bay detention camp will close by next January, US Vice-President Joe Biden said on Thursday, adding that decisions on all inmates were likely “well before January”.

   In an interview with the BBC, he insisted Washington was on course to fulfil the closure pledge made by US President Barack Obama immediately after his inauguration in January.

   “We are going through every single detainee’s records … to make a judgment about whether or not they should be tried (or) … released and if so, what country might take them if we can’t get them back to the country of origin because they’re going to be tortured or mistreated,” he said.

   Oh, yeah…

    For Pres Obama to have any level of success on this issue he needs to say he was convinced by so-and-so that it wasn’t so much the place, as it was how it was being run, and the things that were done there early. Since that time things have changed and Gitmo will remain open with the following updated revisions. He could even make the announcement there.

    Even more important than that is, what are we going to do with these people? Some have already been let go, and in some circumstances it did not work out well.

    There are questionable things that have been done in the past, and that is water under the bridge. You can’t keep pointing backwards. Pres Obama owns this and has to get it done, . . . right.

    Resolve these cases within legislatively approved parameters, and move on.

    Iraq had the right idea. They just renamed abu Graib as Baghdad Central Prison and hung up some signs telling guards to show respect. Couldn’t we do the same thing with Gitmo?

    Just rename it “Hotel California”, hang up some signs, redecorate a little, and call it fixed. It would save us a lot of money and keep us safe at the same time. How could Democrats reject such a win-win proposition?

    I’m sure that if Obama were to announce to the world that he’s fixed all the nasty problems at Gitmo he inherited from Bush, they would believe him. Isn’t that what he did with the economic crisis? He put some stimulus window dressing on it and pronounced it fixed.

    Opposition rising to possibility of Guantanamo prisoners at Supermax The Gazette (Colorado Springs; May 23, 2009

    But McFadyen’s point is made: the Florence Federal Correctional Complex, 40 miles down the road from Colorado Springs, is not in the middle of nowhere, as Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said the other day during debate over what to do with war-on-terrorism detainees at the Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

    and

    A lot of Coloradans are getting their backs up when ADX Florence – aka Supermax – enters the conversation. Supermax, the toughest of the Florence prisons, is home to America’s worst inmates. McFadyen called it “the most maximum-security federal penitentiary in the country, if not the world.”

    Other sites mentioned by military officials as possible locations for Guantanamo inmates include the Army prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the Marines’ Camp Pendleton, Calif., and the Navy’s brig in Charleston, S.C. All are military operations, so the detainees would not have to be transferred from the military justice system to the civil system.

    “Military detainees should not be transported to and held at Supermax because it is not a military facility,” said Sen. Michael Bennet. Colorado’s other U.S. senator, Mark Udall, also opposes such transfers. A spokeswoman said “his strong preference would be for detainees to stay within the military prison system.”

    Also:

    When Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee, said Wednesday that Supermax was suitable for Gitmo detainees in part because “it isn’t in a neighborhood, it isn’t in a community,” U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn pounced.

    “I resent the fact that Senator Feinstein would be so dismissive of the nearly 20,000 people who live in Florence and nearby Cañon City,” Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, said in a news release.

    “Military detainees should not be transported to and held at Supermax because it is not a military facility,”

    I thought they were POWS, according to our liberal government, and “protected” by the Geneva Conventions (which they aren’t). Transferring them, indirectly implies that they are crimminals. So, let’s try them and give them the needles. Besides, Gitmo is a country club prison, compared to Supermax. I guess they’ll have to change all the routines, for everyone, to comply with their “religion”. That will be interesting.

    Send them to Supermax. Then each day release one of them at a time into the exercise yeard with the general population and then tell the guards to take a ten minute break.

    In as many days as there are terrorist inmates, the problem solves itself.

    Isn’t it a thrill when a good plan comes together, that allows even hardened criminals to contribute to society.

    MM: “…the Obama administration is shuffling prisoners and clearing out beds for Gitmo detainees.”

    Anyway you understand that, the security of America’s most hardened and dangerous criminals is being compromised to accommodate the transfers from Gitmo.

    Even if the terrorist are securely held, the administration is endangering the citizenry by diminished security for the current Supermax occupants who are being shuffled around into a less optimum level of security. The whole purpose of Supermax is to provide a failsafe level of security for these worst of the worst. But now they are giving up their beds for Obama’s political theatre.

    I don’t care if they are brown, white, or green. I don’t want foreign terrorists brought into our country, period. I know it’s difficult for liberals to see any difference between American citizens and foreigners, but the rest of us don’t really think we should bring all the world’s criminals and terrorists into our prisons. How long before some liberal judge decides to release these terrorists on a technicality? (Like that’s never happened before.)

    Then there’s the problem of a network of terrorist brothers around the world who would like to break these guys out or seek revenge on their behalf. Would you want to be a guard at supermax knowing that you or your family could be targets? What worldwide terrorist organizations did Rudolph, McVeigh, or the Unabomber belong to? (The Unabomber was an environmentalist nut but I don’t know if he was a member of ELF.)

    In any case, how does moving these guys from Gitmo to the U.S. benefit us in any way?
