Closing Gitmo

So they put a pause on trials and need to figure out where to move the Gitmo prisoners.

Uhhh...okay. As instapundit asked yesterday, wasn't the whole "problem" with Gitmo the "lack of a fair trial." What does "pausing" accomplish?

It seems to me, if there was a "smarter" way of handling terrorist suspects, there's been plenty of time to figure it out.

My guess - this is mostly a symbolic measure. I just hope we don't re-start the rendition policy and start feeling morally superior because of it.
