If you could start a rumor...

I want to start a rumor just for the Republicans...

Facing threat in Congress, Pentagon races to resettle Guantanamo inmates
Washington Post = Missy Ryan and Adam Goldman - April 22,2015
Quote:
Facing a potential showdown with Congress, the Pentagon is racing to move dozens of detainee
out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in coming months before lawmakers can block future transfers
and derail President Obama’s plan to shutter the U.S. military prison.

As a first step, officials plan to send up to 10 prisoners overseas, possibly in June.
In all, the Pentagon hopes that 57 inmates who are approved for transfer will be resettled
by the end of 2015. That would require “large muscle movements” by at least two countries,
which officials hope will each agree to take in 10 to 20 Yemeni detainees,
who cannot be repatriated because of security conditions in their war-torn homeland.

In the event that Congress does pass legislation that would freeze Guantanamo Bay’s population,
currently at 122, White House officials are exploring options for the unilateral
closure of the prison and moving detainees into the United States,
an action that Congress has opposed from the president’s first months in office.

In the event that Congress does pass legislation that would freeze Guantanamo Bay’s population at 122,
White House officials are exploring options for the unilateral closure of the prison.
He has already taken the first necessary steps...

My rumor is this:
OBAMA TO TRADE GUANTANEMO PRISION TO CUBA
1) Remove Cuba from the list of terrorist states
2) Sign over Guantanemo Prison to Cuban government
Case closed - as promised in 2008
