Bill Clinton: Gitmo – Close it Down or Clean it Up

Former President Bill Clinton opines about the FLAP of the week – closure of the military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Bill Clinton has become the most prominent figure so far to add his voice to criticisms of the US prison camp at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.

In an interview with the Financial Times, the former president called for the camp, set up to hold suspected terrorists, to “be closed down or cleaned up”.

Mr Clinton joined critics at home and abroad who have singled out the indefinite detention of prisoners without trial and widespread reports of human rights violations at Guantánamo. “It is time that there are no more stories coming out of there about people being abused,” he said.

First, it was Senator Joe Biden – now a Presidential candidate.

Then, former President Jimmy Carter joined in with a pronouncement on closing down Gitmo.

These are such original thoughts, Mr. President.

By the way, what does Hillary think?
