Link?

Kind of the opposite of closing Gitmo ain't it?

Link?

You could google it but

Guantanamo Bay soccer field pricey addition to prison | The Columbus Dispatch

Actually, it was 750K; not 450K

I could have, but it's more of the principle behind it. I wanted the OP to post a link. The claim just sounded GS-outrageous.

By all means, make sure to leave out that it is being used with the cooperative ones.

ohhh it will be used by the cooperative ones.....that makes this much better

I haven't read the article. No interest, really. However, it does make a difference. Those that feel rewarded will provide more information and behave, I do believe. However, Obama campaigned on shutting down Gitmo and dumping another $750k into it is ridiculous and just pushes me further from voting for him again.

He obviously got talked out of it.

I thought he was closing it, if he is closing it why spend 750K on a soccer field?

 

[bigeasy]

Pretty sure I could built a soccer field for less than 750K. All you need is some grass and some level ground.

Which is exactly what I was thinking when I said dumping $750k into Gitmo is ridiculous. Kids everywhere find anywhere to play and play with anything they can find. There's absolutely no need for a stadium, or whatever they're building with the $750k.

Maybe it was a naive promise? Kinda like thinking having a sit down w/I'madinnerjacket would restart US/Iranian relations or that doing a "reset" with Russia would get them to behave to our liking or unilaterally agreeing to give up missile programs so Russia will comply.

Nah.

Will be the nicest soccer field they ever played on. Maybe they can field a team for the Olympics or World Cup

Double fence, concertina apron, anti-personnel mines all add up.

they aren't cooperative they're just the ones that couldn't shoot fast enough and got caught. Attitude once in prison means squat

Luxery boxes, corporate sponsors

If there were corporate sponsors, then why would the US need to front the money for the stadium?

Im hearing Solyndra will have a nice suite at mid field.

Read the article, it mentions that location makes everything twice as expensive. Makes sense.

Maybe it was a naive promise? Kinda like thinking having a sit down w/I'madinnerjacket would restart US/Iranian relations or that doing a "reset" with Russia would get them to behave to our liking or unilaterally agreeing to give up missile programs so Russia will comply.

Nah.

I think that was exactly what it was. Naive. I imagine there is a WHOLE lot coming out of there that only the military and the POTUS are aware of.

I find it ironic that the right would bash him over this, since it is clear that his leaving it open is about preventing more terrorism.

I mean, make fun of him I suppose for breaking his promise on closing it, but at least respect that once in the office he has the stones to change his mind in the interests of national security.
