[quote=JOHNNY512,357022]The new President of USA has signed an executive order to close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay on January 22, 2009. The military prison at Guantanamo Bay was the potent symbol of George Bush’s “ War on terror”. The prison was founded in January of 2002. The detention center was criticized for its harshest interrogation techniques. Obama pledged that he would shut down the prison during his election campaign. He thought the prison has tarnished USA’s image. The executive order reads: "In view of significant concerns raised by these detentions, both within the United States and internationally, prompt and appropriate disposition of the individuals currently detained at Guantánamo and closure of the facility would further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice." "The message that we are sending around the world is that the United States intends to prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism and we are going to do so vigilantly," Obama said. "We are going to do so effectively and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals." The Modern Concentration Camp built by George Bush [/quote]
