Better Late Than Never

Stephen Elliott bio ↓  ·  May 7th, 2009  ·  filed under politics

“Driving along the fence line and seeing the Cuban flags and watchtowers, I was struck by the relative peace and quiet that both sides maintain at the one spot where they deal with each other most. In a way, when flag officers and staff from both sides meet each month at the base’s east gate, they continue a long history of pragmatic if ambivalent engagement that started well before Guantanamo became the nightmarish Gitmo.”

Don’t just close Gitmo. Give it back.
