Take Down The Flag over Guantanamo
The laws of the 'United States' do not apply within the base at Guantanamo, to those that the prison was built to hold - therefore the USA cannot continue to fly the US flag that supposedly stands for the rules of law that have been with this nation since its formal founding.
We cannot have the "legal situation" inside Gitmo "both ways"! Either Guantanamo is an American base, and thereby an outpost of American military law, set up under the US Constitution Or Gitmo is a rogue-place, a prison unto itself that might as well fly the flags of Blackwater and the Jolly-Roger of International Piracy, that together actually represent what goes on inside that place.
The criminal confinement at Gitmo, exists outside the bounds of all civilized practices and procedures, and has become known world-wide as an institution without rules: a place more suited to the practices and procedures of the Marquee De Sade, than to anything that has ever been routinely paid for by US taxpayers. Recently the Decider's lackeys; divulged what they thought of as a very revealing confession, by someone they say was one of the monsters behind 911. Of course that fraud backfired, big-time! Because anyone under torture for a number of years would of course confess to anything and everything, just to get the torture to stop: Which is why torture has been barred from US law, and practice. The man who designed these practices and procedures is non-other than the current US Attorney General, under fire for lying to Congress, and to the public about his role in the firing of eight US Attorneys.

You are really complicating things for an administration, which has more than enough problems from before: A president calling the American Constitution a God damned piece of paper and an attorney general who claims that Habeas Corpus is not granted under the US Constitution!
The flag problem in Guantanamo is the least of them all. Maybe a pirate flag would be more fitting, but then again professional pirates off Nigeria and Malacca might feel insulted and sue the US for giving them a bad name!
It is indeed difficult to be in charge of the world's only "democratic super power" and make everybody happy.
