Pentagon Blocking Obama From Releasing Cleared Gitmo Prisoners

So, President Obama is not a dictator after all.
A shocking new report says that President Obama’s own Pentagon has been undermining and blocking his efforts to release many prisoners, who are cleared for release, from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for years (video below).
Reuters interviewed multiple current and former members of the Obama administration who say that high-ranking officials at the U.S. Defense Department have refused to release medical records, photos and basic documentation of Gitmo detainees to foreign governments and officials offering to take them.
The Pentagon has also allegedly blocked foreign officials from staying overnight at Gitmo and limited their time to interview detainees, all in direct contradiction to the orders of the President of the United States…
In response to the accusations, Pentagon spokesman Gary Ross, a U.S. Navy commander, told Reuters, “No foreign government or U.S. department has ever notified the Department of Defense that transfer negotiations collapsed due to a lack of information or access provided by the Department of Defense.”
“We’re all committed to the same goal: safely and responsibly closing the detention facility,” Myles Caggins, a White House spokesman, told the news service.
However, according to Obama administration officials, who did not want to be identified, General John F. Kelly has been instrumental in thwarting the President of the United States’ policy of transferring the detainees because he (Kelly) had a son who was killed while fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.
