I, for one, found Holder’s speech very low-keyed, sedate, and mature. I would point out that this is perhaps the FIRST speech he has given since becoming AG that he hasn’t blamed Bush for something.
No
Predicting what Holder will do on a given day merely involves figuring out who “his people” are in a particular case.
They don’t call it the Just Us Department for nothing. (They have to pay for the privilege.)

Subject: Obama Guantanamo Closure
In closing Guantanamo Obama repudiates moral authority earned by parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generations worldwide. These people held powerful positions throughout darkest times of our world. They earned unique, durable morality confronting the shattering tragedies and ultimate bloody deluges of world wars. Obama’s actions are particularly reprehensible because for political acclaim he turns a blind eye to council these people bequeathed in Geneva Conventions.
Their council defined terrorists by Article 13 of the First and Second Conventions and Article Three of the Fourth Convention. Terrorists are not the armed forces, militias, volunteer corps, insurgents, or freedom fighters of any country or authority. They are not an organized resistance movement carrying arms openly and have no distinctive identifier. Terrorists are not even spies and saboteurs covertly destroying the infrastructure, industrial capacity or armed forces of an opponent. The focus of their campaigns is the murder, mutilation, and torture of people defined as Protected Persons by all Conventions. Their council instructed terrorists to be isolated, provided no protections and subjected to overwhelming furies crushing their abominations.
In closing Guantanamo Obama invites terrorists into our courts system, but even prisoners of war have always been excluded from civil courts. Over 400,000 legitimate Axis prisoners were transferred stateside during WW II, and held for the duration without legal access.
Obama invites alien terrorists onto a national stage where we must justify our position against their unsurpassed savagery, and they become civil criminals entering a legal conduit provided for war against us.
