President Barack Obama vowed last Thursday to make Congress close Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, a facility full of suspected jihadi militants, using a drone strike. In a speech at the National Defense University in Washington D.C., Obama articulated and defended this course of action by calling the jihadi storage facility's continued operation "a contradiction of our values."
The President noted that each detainee costs approximately $900,000 per year for feeding and grooming, and that costs are rising now that detainees have become finicky eaters. This argument resonated well with some Republicans. "We have to ask ourselves if certain invasions of civil liberties are worth it, and I think in this case it is just too expensive to violate the constitution anymore," commented Republican strategist Carl Cato. Senator John McCain told reporters that he too approves of drone striking the facility as it is "full of suspected jihadis", which is uncoincidentally the facility's motto, and that "putting boots on the ground in Gitmo would put our boys at risk."
The President's speech was interrupted twice by a member of Code Pink, a group of Al-Qaeda sympathizers, who expressed outrage that more terrorists were going to be dealt swift justice. The NSA has identified her as the organization's co-founder Medea bin Shamen. She is now being questioned and force fed ashes of burnt Korans at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The President also emphasized that Gitmo and other national security matters, such as drone strikes, could not and should not be glossed over. In this spirit, the administration also acknowledged the use of drone strikes on four American citizens. The Attorney General released information last week which stated that killing one of the four Americans was justified and legal, and that the other three Americans probably deserved it too, whoever they were.
