Sorry, your premise is flawed. If Obama does close Gitmo it will be seen as defacto proof that our government thinks it violated US and international law. It would open the gate wide for Geneva based suits against the Commander in Chief et al that ordered its opening and publicly defended it.
It must remain if only for politically expedience. Obamas first real chip in the Washington two step contest. No one with half a brain can possibly feel that Gitmo, its' methods and the rendition policy that was required to get people there was legal on any level.
