Guess Who Else Says Guantanamo Should Be Shut Down?

Sorry, no... not dangerous lefties like Lieberman or Gore or Michael Moore.

It's Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, former Bush darling, former great lie perpetrator for justifying the Iraq attack, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs... we'll stop the formers there.

Here from the Atlantic:

"Guantanamo ought to be closed immediately," Powell said. He said the value of holding prisoners there was unclear, but the price we were paying around the world for doing so was obvious. He said we should not release the prisoners and dismissed the objection there was no other alternative. "We have ways of dealing with this population" that do not require Gitmo, he said.
