Open or Closed? Obama, Pentagon Remain Quiet About Gitmo ‘Double Agent Factory’

As President Barack Obama’s final term comes towards a close, talk has been trending about whether or not he will make good on one of his fundamental campaign promises made back in 2008.
Will he close Washington’s perennial eyesore, the War on Terror’s official detention center atGuantanamo Bay? Probably, albeit at the eleventh hour of his tenure
After 15 years of headlines, it might surprise some people to discover that the most valuable function of Gitmo was to incarcerate dangerous terrorists in order to ‘keep them off the streets.’ Nor was it to torture innocent and otherwise insignificant terrorist suspects into confessing things they never did or dreamed of. Most knowledgeable military-industrial pundits will even admit thatthere are very few, if any, actual organic terrorists locked-up inside Gitmo.
