There is nothing else to say. Gitmo is a MEDIUM security prison and those prisoners should have been in maximum security since their arrests.

The GOP stood behind their Executive Branch and now they feel compromised because they have been replaced with people that uphold the law the way it was supposed to be upheld. Let them learn that the USA lives by 'The Rule of Law' and NOT 'The Rule of Men.' Incompetent men no less.
