Attorney General vows to close Guantanamo
2:30pm EDT
PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday the United States would close the Guantanamo Bay facility holding terrorism suspects in Cuba, despite missing a previous deadline to do so.
On an official visit to Paris, Holder stressed what he called unprecedented intelligence-sharing ties between France and the United States against a united enemy, al Qaeda, that he said still held the two countries and its allies in its sights.
The recent killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was unlikely to affect the timing of the closure of the Guantanamo facility, Holder said.
"Although we have not closed Guantanamo within the time period that we initially indicated ... it is still the intention of the president, and it is still my intention, to close the facility that exists in Guantanamo," Holder told a joint news briefing with French Interior Minister Claude Gueant.
"We think that by closing that facility the national security of the United States will be enhanced," he added.

White House Insider: Eric Holder Is Gonna Fall
http://socyberty.com/politics/white-house-insider-eric-holder-is-gonna-fall/
he’s only saying that because the leftards over at the Daily Kos will actually believe it
This is about trying to get all those disillusioned lefties back on board for election '12.
The Zero crew will say anything now...just like they did in '10. I even saw that they're starting to talk up the prosecution of the CIA "torturers" again.
Amen!
Mr. Holder can try to close it but it may prove difficult when he finds himself unemployed in say about a year and a half.
Really? How? Will no one ask him this?
“against a united enemy”????
there’s against a common enemy, or united against a common enemy, but a “united enemy” is exactly what al-Reuters wants.
This has been coming. Watching the news shows anyone what an insider is saying.

That would make a lot of sense, indeed, as to what his intentions were in that OBL ops.
Political fodder. They know their supporters are stupid enough to buy it again. They have no intention of closing Gitmo or they would have already done it.
Is that why UBL was not captured alive?
I would like to know just how the office of AGoUS has the power to do that to a military base in a treaty zone. Has there been some amendment to Congress's Article I powers that would allow a cabinet member to do that?
