From the article:








During the 2008 campaign, President Obama promised he would close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility within a year of his inauguration. Four years later, Guantanamo remains open and will remain open for the foreseeable future. President Obama blames Congress for this failure and says he has reformed the military detention system and bolstered America’s image throughout the world.

What he doesn’t mention is that many terrorist detainees would be better off if Obama had stuck to Bush’s detention policies. That’s because, in an effort to avoid sending detainees to Guantanamo, Obama has kept them in overseas military prisons, where they have no access to U.S. courts and languish in worse conditions than the detainees held at Guantanamo.
