Obama promised to end Human Rights Abuses at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay? Tell him to VETO the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act. The world wouldn’t come to an end when he does. Congress has passed emergency budgets in the past, they will again. Everyone will get paid. However, Obama needs to VETO the bill because of section 1034. Title X-General Provisions, Subtitle D-Counterterrorism, section 1034 “Prohibition on use of funds for the transfer or release of individuals detained at United States Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.” It starts on page 391 of the bill.
Congress has inserted this amendment in EVERY NDAA since Obama took office SPECIFICALLY to block closure of this facility. It’s time for Obama to make a strand for Human Rights and VETO the Bill this time.
