George Bush opened the prison without permission of congress but Obama can’t close it? the facts are, 1. Gitmo is a Military detention facility ,(prisoner of war camp)Obama is commander in chief of the military and can run it as he sees fit with ZERO oversight from congress that includes closing it. 2.
