Over the past few years, the word “Guantanamo or Gitmo” has come to embody far more than the Cuban bay that lent its name to one of oldest military prison bases more than a century ago; it has joined our 21st century dictionary as a term emblematic of mishandling, deceived, and disregard for the rules of military and civilian law. In rare agreement, there were only two U.S. Presidents that have acknowledged the benefit of terminating operations at its detention facility, but both have tried and failed to close Gitmo.
Thus far, attempts to close the facility have not only failed; they have arguably undermined their own ends by releasing belligerents back to the fight and prolonging the conflict. Ironically, we would be closer to securing Guantanamo
