Because Americans are cowards and assholes, they will trade freedom and liberty for safety. Gitmo is the evil side of our paranoid fears made manifest, a visible representation of our own unfaced evil.
In short we have dug a deep hole and buried ourselves in it. We have fucked ourselves with our own evil. We want to fix the problem but the Democrats are smart moral cowards. They know if they close Gitmo and somebody in there today harms us tomorrow the Republicans will turn it into a powerful political issue claiming Democrats are traitors and did something to kill our own people.
Democrats aren't going to hand Republicans a way to screw them just because they might like to do the right think. They are moral cowards who prefer to stay in office. You can blame the Republicans, however, for being the ultimate assholes, because if they didn't live off the evil of American paranoia and fear, they wouldn't be waiting like the spiders they are for the Democrats to fall in that web.
So when it comes right down to it, Gitmo is you. It exists because you are a coward and an asshole.
