act on the promises repeatedly made to shut down the Guantanamo bay detention camp.

Mr. Obama has repeatedly stated during his first campaign why it would be the right thing to do to close down the Guantanamo detention camp. A few of these points are collected in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8USRg3h4AdE
The USA should set an example of a civilized country where the law applies equally to all, where due process is guaranteed to all and where the violation of basic human rights has no place. The Guantanamo bay detention camp is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the great nation the USA are and must be closed down and replaced by a facility that is in line with the morals and ethics of a civilized country, under the full laws and the constitution of the USA and observing international human rights.
