Last week Rachel Maddow got to the bottom of why President Obama has suddenly lost the support of Congress for closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay:
The Democrats can be such pussies sometimes. You can watch the entire fear-mongering Republican ad here.

[Update: Dan Froomkin describes the right/left dynamic on this issue admittedly a bit more eloquently than just calling one side "pussies":
Here's one thing that hasn't changed in the Obama era: Republicans are still able to come up with scare tactics that turn Senate Democrats into a terrified and incoherent bunch of mewling babies.
It's hard to imagine anything more ridiculous than the suggestion that bringing some of the terror suspects currently incarcerated in Guantanamo to high-security prisons in America will pose a threat to local communities.
It is nothing more than a bogeyman argument, easily refuted with a little common sense. (Isn't that what prisons are for?) But that's assuming you don't spend your every moment living in fear of Republican attack ads questioning your devotion to the security of the country. Or that you have a modicum of respect for the intelligence of the American public.
Ah well. Old habits die hard, I guess. And Senate Democrats apparently remain an easily frightened bunch, after eight years of faint-hearted submission.]

"You can't put them in prison unless you release them."
I assume Harry wet himself as he made that statement.
