I would post a link, but there are so many; just Google "GOP block Gitmo closure"; the whole history is there...

Mainly due to GOP interference huh?. I suppose that's exactly what you'll link too when select for your search parameter "GOP block GITMO closure".
But if you select for a search the likes of "why isn't GITMO closed" it's not as cut and dry as the usin' s agin them'ins, politics of the day.
