H/T to Little Green Footballs) President Obama recently made a remarkable and very dangerous proclamation about GITMO.

President Barack Obama said in an interview aired on Monday he worried that detainees freed from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo, Cuba, might resume attacks on the United States.But he told NBC News that closure of the prison was a matter of upholding U.S. values and law, and that a failure to do so would ultimately make Americans less secure.

"Can we guarantee that they're not going to try to participate in another attack? No," Obama said. "But what I can guarantee is that if we don't uphold our Constitution and our values, that over time that will make us less safe. And that will be a recruitment tool for organizations like al-Qaeda."

In theory, theory works in practice. In practice, it’s not necessarily so.

The terrorist will be lining up to join Al Quada if we fail to follow our Constitution. Berry should take another hit off the pipe.

I believe the quote is

in theory there’s no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.

Yogi Berra

Does the tool in the White House think Bin Laden does what he does because he’s outraged we don’t follow the ACLU’s version of the Constitution?

Probably. He certainly doesn’t have the best interests of the United States at heart.

I won’t speak for the President. He can speak for himself, however President Obama does speak an awful lot about maintaining moral authority and he appears to minimize the real intelligence gathering we will lose in removing all of these anti terror measures.
