Even in the history of Republican hypocritical lying that is an incredibly hypocritical lie.*Republicans* have repeatedly blocked any efforts to close Gitmo.From *Fox News,* yes, fox News, just yesterday:"The Obama White House hailed a House vote Thursday to defeat a GOP-led effort to block the transfer of any Guantanamo Bay detainee to US soil - even for prosecution."This was the most important legislative vote out there and it gives us a sense of victory," said a senior administration official close to White House deliberations on closing the detention facility."It give us the fundamental ability to close down Guantanamo," the official said. "And on the political side of it at least we've stabilized and we' re dealing with the hysteria we dealt with this spring."
