QUOTE FROM ABOVE

The issue is NOT closing Gitmo or keeping Gitmo open. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, TOO BAD IT'S CONFUSING THE REAL ISSUE.

Bush never said he wanted SCOTUS to rule in THIS way. All he ever said was that we need Gitmo as a place to hold people until the SCOTUS ruled WHAT KIND OF TRIALS THE DETAINEES MUST HAVE. Bush expressly has wanted MILITARY TRIBUNALS for them but had to wait for a yes or no ruling.

It really is that simple. Bush will not close Gitmo until some disposition is made of these dangerous people. They will just stay there until SOMETHING is done to process their cases.

The Court said nothing whatsoever about closing it. They only ruled against Military Tribunals for the terrorists.

I just heard Senator Graham state that congress will immediately try to get a law passed to deal with the SC decision.
