Secret List of U.S. Military Bases to Replace Gitmo
Source: ABC

The U.S. military has prepared a list of U.S. military bases that could be used to house as many as 250 detainees currently being held at the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, military officials tell ABCNews.com.

The list -- which includes Camp Pendleton in California, Fort Leavenworth in Kansas; the Marine Air Station in Miramar, California; and the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig in South Carolina -- has been circulated in a classified brief to members of Congress and was prepared by the Pentagon's Joint Staff.

2. I figured this would be the "solution"
Just move everyone to a bunch of mini-gitmos away from watchful eyes.

5. New and Improved
Gitmo. Actually I do think the detainees will fare better under an Obama administration.

6. President Obama needs to order Guantanamo closed on day one.
Regaining our respect around the world has to start by correcting our past wrongs, like closing this illegal prison.
