ABC Hypes Potential Gitmo Closing: ‘Allegations of Waterboarding...Have Turned This Place Into A Terrorist Recruiters Dream’

With the exchange of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl for the release of five Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay complete, ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos used the opportunity to promote the possibility of Gitmo closing its doors. On Sunday, Jule 8, Byron Pitts, ABC’s Chief National Correspondent peddled the liberal line that “700 men have come through Gitmo since the beginning of the war on terror when these pictures of shackled and hooded men shock the world. Some say past allegations of waterboarding and hunger strikes have turned this place into a terrorist recruiters dream.”
