political editor, and senior editor of the review and colu columnist to bloomberg review. perry, let me start with you, with president obama winning a second term, is there a window now, window of opportunity, to close gitmo and squash some of the dissatisfaction from the left? >> there is a window. let me disagree with ari slightly here. there was a vote in the senate on president obama's plan to close gitmo in 2009, and it failed 90 to 6. 90 to 6 very resoundingly. the republicans all opposed it, but 48 of the 54 democrats opposed it too. so the white house giving up at that point was not surprising to me. it's not clear it's the political will on capitol hill to close gitmo, the problem being once you close gitmo, the detainees have to go to prisons in the united states. every senator is basically like, not my district, not my state. i'm not sure until there's a real issue from the senate and
