Mh. Like everytime a decision is made, I wondered where it came from. And so I began reading... (NYT - Administration Prepares to Lift Ban...) (NYT - Obama Signs Bill That May Hinder...) I can't deny that his last decision will keep the prison open for a long time, and I actually observe that the recent decisions made, in January, already took that direction. It is certain that the administration's strategy to close it would have taken a lot more time anyway but I also can't deny this possibility, that the bill signed at the beginning of January 2011 could be linked to this new decision. It made the strategy harder, so even if the strategy wasn't sound to begin with, to the least it precipitated the decision. Anyway, whatever the cause it's an admittance of failure. A chance that the foreign medias may not care... too busy with civil wars and revolutions.
