Hope and Change

Heh:

Now Democrats are ganging up on President Barack Obama’s
plans to shut down the Guantanamo Bay prison. Or rather, the
president’s lack of planning for how to shutter the prison and how to
handle the detainees.

“They say, ‘We’re going to close Guantanamo.’ OK, fine. How are you
going to do that? That’s the question,” Rep. Neal Abercrombie
(D-Hawaii) told POLITICO Thursday. “They should have had that worked
out from the get-go.”

“There’s this vague game plan that now we’re going to leave
Guantanamo,” Abercrombie said. “It’s allowed it to become a political
football.” …

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who supports the Obama plan,
admits that there’s no clear answer yet on Guantanamo: “The issue is,
how are we going to close it?”

And House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) has
told the White House that “when they have a plan, they’re welcome to
come back and talk to us.”
