But it really wasn't about the prison there, it was about torture, due process, rule of law, the geneva conventions - the whole despicable bundle of war crimes committed in our name by the Bush regime. Closing gitmo was a symbolic gesture, and even that gesture was rendered pointless when it became clear that this administration was not going to prosecute or even renounce or even stop the policies of the neocon regime before them. Not closing gitmo closes the book on change for this administration with respect to the GWOT nonsense.
