Obama has had Seven years to close Guantanamo, but it is still open for business

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/obama-is-once-again-trying-to-close-gitmo-but-how/ar-BBmR8Oh?li=BBoPH6G Obama Is Once Again Trying to Close Guantanamo Bay prison . But How? Guantanamo Bay prison Obama had a plan to close the military prison in Guantanamo Bay announced on the first day of his Presidency in January 20, 2009. All he got was the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.  Obama with his Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, the stain of Guantanamo Bay remains as an obnoxious breech of civil liberties and an insult to the principle of "due process" in domestic and international law, even today in October of 2016. Obama has done nothing in 7 years but now he has a "new plan". Surely if you are the most powerful man in the world you just have to say " Close Guantanamo Bay now."

Nobel Peace Prize awrded to EU. Complete lunacy.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/12/greece-eu-nobel-peace-prize-war   Awarding the "Peace Prize" to the EU is lunacy.The actual wording of the section of Alfred Nobel's will reads ".....and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." Note the words "to the person". Thus, the EU does not qualify on any count to be eligible to receive the prize! Think again Nobel prize committee, and then award the prize to someone who actually deserves it.
