Continuing my posts about Guantanamo, Obama’s attorney general enters the fray:

AG Holder says closing Guantanamo won’t be easy

WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday the Guantanamo detention center is a well-run, professional facility that will be difficult to close — but he’s still going to do it. Holder visited the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on Monday and spoke to reporters about his trip during a news conference Wednesday.

Closing Guantanamo, he said, “will not be an easy process. It’s one we will do in a way that ensures that people are treated fairly and that the American people are kept safe.”

Wow. Talk about your “No S**t, Sherlock” headlines. Once more, it’s harder to keep Americans safe as a president than while one was a candidate for president, criticizing those who did.

Given their turnabouts on Guantanamo in Afghanistan and harsh interrogation methods, one thinks they’re strategizing how to not close Gitmo too. We will see.
