One Thing Obama and Terrorists Agree On

Before you read this, let me say there's probably not a ton of things that Obama and terrorists do agree on. But there is one thing: closing Gitmo. Byron York did some digging and here are his conclusions:

Overall, 65 percent of those surveyed oppose shutting Gitmo, versus 32 percent who say it should be closed. According to the poll's internal numbers, large majorities of men oppose closing the prison, large majorities of women oppose it, large majorities of white people oppose it, large majorities of non-white people oppose it, people with graduate degrees oppose it, and people who didn't finish high school oppose it. Pretty much everybody.

Everybody, except terrorists and Obama. I can understand why terrorists feel this way. What's Obama's angle?
