The U.S. government has been sending rent payments to Cuba all along.
Ever since the revolution the Cuban government has been declining to
cash those checks as a protest of having evicted their tenants who
refused to leave.

I feel quite sure that the Cuban Government will be pleased and overjoyed to rent out Guantanamo Bay to us should we decide to terminate our current leasing agreement.
That is, if we have one.

Hi All,
While I agree with the author here, I doubt Obama will close Guantanamo and
return it to Cuba. While Obama may want to do so in principle, I think that
there's way too much politics running through his veins. That is, he will
refuse to do the right thing here because of the impact on the 2016
presidential election. Can you imagine how the Republican candidates for
president and Congress will react? They'll claim he's soft on terrorists and
that a vote for Clinton or any other Democrat is a vote to cede power to the
terrorists.
I sure do hope I'm wrong here because by maintaining the prison at
Guantanamo and holding prisoners without charge or trial of some sort means
that we're no better than the Soviet Union or any other dictatorship.
