12. CCR Calls Out President for Refusing to Use His Power to Transfer Men Out of Island Prison

...Ms. Pillay raises concerns about the obstacles the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA) has created for the closure of the prison camp, but there is no doubt that the president does have the power to transfer men out of Guantanamo under the NDAA’s national security waiver, he just refuses to do so. President Obama must stop blaming Congress and trying to have it both ways by claiming he wants to close Guantanamo but his hands are tied because it is simply not true.
