President Obama?s top counterterrorism advisor said today the White House is about to launch a new effort to shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, citing escalating costs that is forcing the U.S. government to spend $3 million a year to house and care each of the 116 remaining detainees.

Speaking at the Aspen Security Conference, deputy national security advisor Lisa Monaco said the White House is drafting a plan to close the prison that it will present shortly to Sen. John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

That is almost $1 million per day.  What nonsense!  What are they eating each day, Beluga caviar while each of them sit in a Bentley?

I am not surprised that we are squandering money the way we are with Obama sloppy leadership.  Makes you wander how much is being squandered each day in the White House itself?

turning these bastards loose would be much more expensive than $3 million a day.  terrorism costs more than money.

There should be only one outcome for anyone labeled a terrorist....a firing squad.  Military tribunal and immediate execution.  That does not cost much at all.
