In Confidential Memo, the Hildebeest Urged Champ To Close Gitmo
2015-11-30
[Huffpoo] WASHINGTON -- Weeks before she stepped down as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton wrote a memo urging President Barack Obama to step up his administration's efforts to close the military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay in his second term. In the confidential January 2013 memo obtained by The Huffington Post, Clinton told Obama she worried that support for closing Guantanamo would further erode unless the administration took action.

"We must signal to our old and emerging allies alike that we remain serious about turning the page of GTMO and the practices of the prior decade," Clinton wrote in the document, using the military abbreviation for the U.S. naval base. "The revitalization of transfers, efforts to prosecute some detainees in federal courts, a longer-term approach to the return of Yemeni detainees, and credible periodic reviews would send the signal and renew a credible detention policy."

#5  200 miles is Exclusive Economic Zone, but AFAIK 12 miles is still territorial limit. But I'm ok with 201 miles - how about 201 miles north of Pt Barrow?

#4  Better make that 201 miles offshore so it's still in international waters. Otherwise Obumbles will declare them U.S. Citizens and thus worthy of a 'fair' trial and *bail* in the United States.

#3  I have an idea. Grab one of the Ghost Fleet ships awaiting the shipbreaker and turn it into a prison hulk for the Gitmo detainees, and moor it 12 miles offshore until it sinks.
