So you support concentration camps? Nazi.
Today Obama signed an executive order to close Gitmo within a year. He doesn't have a clue what to do with the terrorists detained there - but, by golly, in the interest of national security we're closing it anyway!
Maybe Pelosi and Reed can sponsor a terrorist or two and let them come live with them...![]()

YES! THEY ARE CLOSING GITMO!!!
My dad's doing a dance in heaven right now!
I think I've seen that ad on TV.
"For the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can feed your own terrorist for a month........get a picture of your terrorist and how he's doing in school.....yada yada ....."
usually comes on right after the snuggie ad.
Good. Gives them a year to figure out where to put them.
Didn't we just release some people from Gitmo that were found to completely innocent? They were there 3 or 4yrs so I guess they are just unlucky that they lost 4 yrs of their lives. Our bad..
So what? 61 detainees who were released went right back to the terrorist camps and continued right where they left off! Those who were "innocent" probably weren't - they just didn't have enough evidence against them.
So human rights take precedence over national security - makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!
if you were not a terrorist when you went in.......you damn sure are by the time you get out.
A naive move. I'd rather them be at Gitmo than here on the mainland.
Have you heard the press conference? Obama sounds like a puppet - his mouth is moving, but someone else is providing the words.
BTW - Rush Limbaugh has made his own executive order. He's changing his Club Gitmo merchandise to say CLUB GITMO - WHEN AMERICA WAS SAFE
I think I'll get a t-shirt as soon as they go on sale.
That's funny - those detainees are living better than they ever did in their home country!So you support concentration camps? Nazi.
Prosecute em all. Let's see how good the evidence is.
lol didnt the bush admin wanted to properly divide up the reallocation of inmates at gitmo to usa/britain/australia.....
australia's citizens reject the idea and so does it govt.....
You. Are. A. Moron. Of the lowliest quality.
Maybe Obama determined the streak of losses in court had grown too embarrassing for the country. Better just to put an arbitrary halt to the process and mothball Gitmo.
Where to now, St. Peter?
What comes next?
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers ... our found fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake
good luck explaining that to the dip known as crookshanks.
A concentration camp is classified as a place where prisoners are held without trial.
That's the dilemma. As much as we would like to lock up anyone we think is a terrorist and throw away the key, we can't. It's un-American. German concentration camps started as a place to round up political enemies of the Nazi party and they convinced Germany that they were in the right out of playing on their fear. After the Reichstag fire, Hitler got the power he needed to suspend civil liberties and allowed him to imprison people that were seen as a thread to Germany without trial.
See the similarities? History has the tendency to repeat itself unless we are proactive. If this involves having to legally sentence terrorists and possibly have to let them go in order to preserve civil liberties, then that's just something we are going to have to deal with.
That's my opinion on it.

FDR and Truman would disagree. At least in deeds if not words.
This order is part of the deal when America elected Obama. It was a fundamental difference between the philosophies of the President and McCain. Obama won, and therefore this is being closed.
Is anyone surprised?
And that was wrong. Or do you think the Japanese internment camps were a particular noble precedent in America's history? An example to be followed?
