I think that, truthfully, most everybody wants Gitmo to go away but there are some cowardly Reps and Senators whom are afraid to let them go on the off chance that some of them really are dangerous and might turn around and harm US citizens (or even those whom weren't actually guilty but have been detained for so long they have become radicalized). However, frankly, at this point, we really don't have any good options. We should've weeded all of them out a long time ago and charged the guilty parties and resettled the rest. I think we really just need to act with all deliberate speed to get rid of the remaining prisoners and shutter up the prison IMHO.

"Under Pressure, Hagel Promises to Act on Guantanamo Transfers"--not a new revelation, in other words.

Interestingly, the next guy, Ash Carter, has declared to some Senators that he doesn't see Obama being able to close Gitmo. So, apparently he's not going to be under any similar pressure, and Obama must be OK with that.
