Bush left it open because for him to close it would have made him look like a dumbass after it got out that alot of the detainees were just innocent people....Obama's closing it because Bush didn't and alot of those detainees are just innocent people.
And the Florence, Colorado prision is for the worst of the worst and they are treated as such. There is no comparison between the two except to say Florence, Colorado is filled with people who have been found guilty of crimes. Gitmo is filled with people who GW really hopes are guilty.
