Why a year?
That’s a very good question being asked tonight by a Constitutional Rightsexpert criticizing President Obama who is reportedly set to issue orders to close the notorious Guantanamo prison in Cuba no later than one year from now.
“It only took days to put these men in Guantanamo, it shouldn’t take a year to get them out,” Vincent Warren of the Center for Constitutional Rights told the Reuters news service.
Obama is also apparently set to ban the use of such practices as waterboarding by the C.I.A.

170 of the detainees President Bush wanted to release but knew they would be killed if sent home. No other countries wanted them while Bush was president. They still may not with Obama.
There are some really bad guys there. Obama knows it may take a year to figure what to do with them.

2closing Guantanamo represents a step in the right direction; pretty soon the U.S. will be able to join the world community once again
