Original Note:
Misleading phrasing - in 2009, Sanders voted for an amendment to a defense bill blocking money to close Guantánamo. He specified he supported closing the facility, but that he was waiting for the release of Obama's report on how they would deal with the remaining prisoners. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1111/vote_111_1_00196.htm?congress=111&session=1&vote=00196 https://www.vermontpublic.org/vpr-news/2016-02-23/sanders-leahy-have-voted-both-sides-of-guantanamo-closure
