Yes Obama did announce the camp would be closed, but as yet that has not happened.
In June of this year the camp was still fully operational.
See links below.
On January 22, 2009, Barack Obama promised to close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay by January 2010. There were 174 prisoners left at the end of January 2010. There are still 167 detainees September 2012.
Still open. Obama signed something but congress over ruled it.
No. The conservatives refused to provide funding.
Of course it's still open.
its still open, the usa govt system means nothing ever changes
never closed it.
just goes to show you that candidates don't always know what they are talking about.
i remember obama signing something in '08 or '09 saying that it was to be closed within the year..did they ever close it?
