Men en lukning løser ikke det problem, der gav anledning til oprettelse af faciliteten - og som den heller ikke har løst - nemlig hvordan man skal håndtere truslen mod den nationale og internationale sikkerhed, som er præget af helt andre kendetegn end dem, der gælder traditionelle fjendtlige kombattanter, for hvem folkeretten blev udarbejdet og forberedt.
Closure, however, does not solve the problem for which the facility was created - and which it too failed to resolve - which is how to deal with a threat to national and international security that is marked by entirely different characteristics from those of traditional enemy combatants, for whom international law was designed and is prepared.
