Guantanamo Detainee Transfer Approved by Senate

President Obama has a minor victory with his efforts to close Guantanamo Bay prison. The government is can now continue to transfer detainees to the facility in the United States to be prosecuted. The Senate passed the vote as part of bigger 44.1 billion dollar budget bill for Homeland Security. The measure will now allow the detainees to be tried here in the US. In January Obama said that the facility was to be closed within a year, but to due circumstances that will not be happening. One issue that is holding it back is that there is not sufficient funding. There must be a plan and 15 days notice before any transfers can occur, also a certification that the prisoner is not a security risk. There is a "CLOSE GITMO NOW" campaign that will begin on Tuesday. Administration and Obama want to obtain all the unreleased photos of the detainee abuse to prevent any anti-American sentiment overseas and to prevent our troops from becoming endangered.
In my opinion the Guantanamo should stay open. This blog is an update on one of the first blogs I did, and all my opinions and beliefs remain the same. I do agree though that the abuse photos should remain unreleased.
