GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- Military judges on Wednesday will consider motions by the Obama administration to suspend the Guantanamo war crimes trials for 120 days during a review of the system for prosecuting suspected terrorists.
The motions, filed late Tuesday at the direction of President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, will be heard in the cases of five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks and of Canadian Omar Khadr, who is accused of killing an American soldier with a grenade in Afghanistan in 2002....

...Relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, who were also at the base to observe the hearings, have said they oppose any further delay in the trials of the men charged in the case.

These people are extraordinary, unrepentant criminals, and they should be punished. It’s just that simple. I don’t feel guilty for holding them as prisoners, and nobody else should. The irrationality of liberal thinking is really impressive.
Somebody tell me again he's not a muslim.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's bin Laden's own man, the most spectacularly successful mole in American history.
It's not that he stopped some punishment. He even stopped the TRIALS. He stopped any possibility of the proud “Ameircan-killers” to be punished for their crimes.
Two realities:
1: They are celebrating in Islamofacistland
2: It will get worse for us, much worse. (I don't mean it will get worse for us from the terrorists who have now been told they can Americans with immunity. It will get worse, much worse in what Obama, not the terrorists, but Obama himself, will do to us.)
• Bottom-line, clear message to terrorists:
If you believe in the Son, then you believe in the Father who sent him. You need to revisit Romans Chapter 13.
>>I thought he was going to close the prison !!!!
Yep, and four years from now we’ll still be in Iraq too - securing the Middle East and protecting the petro-dollar with that military presence.
Regardless of the dramatics, it is what it is.
Terrorist war criminals are the first priority on Obama's list.
Hmmmmmm his first order is to release muslims..hmmmmmm
Blair House has a huge amount of unused bedrooms and baths, sounds like good accommodations abound there for them to me.
I thought the same thing. I wonder if all those who voted for him because he promised "goodies," will think of this and that they were not his first priority!
All I can say is that I am truly so much more scared now and probably will be as long as O is in the WH. In my heart I always want to admire our President, even when I don't agree with him or the politics/party he represents. I want to respect the POTUS and have faith and I always try. I had even hoped I could feel that way about Obama for a while. But more and more he just scares me - period. He has since the beginning. It is a feeling I cannot ignore, and I cannot for the life of me understand why so many others have ignored - and keep ignoring - what is so worrisome about this crafty-like-a-fox man, his poor record, his frightening associates, etc.
I think - at first - it was the excitement over the idea of having the first "black" president and that is all - a simple minded excitement that got way out of hand, promoted by the media.
Note: "Black" in quotes because he is not even that - he is bi-racial and not an African-American at all. Everything about him is either a lie, a fraud, or a cover-up.
Black People’s Folly
Manning says it again!!!

Halt Gitmo Trials? One of the worst things Obama could do and he does it on day #1.
But no word about how he hopes and assumes that al qaeda will cease plotting and committing terrorist acts for 120 days, as well.
I hadn’t heard that one yet. :( I knew he was lying when he said he opposed gay marriage.
Gates is a master bureaucrat, a bureaucrat's bureaucrat. As such, he believes what his boss wants him to believe.
I am confident that his position on this and other issues has evolved comfortably into line with the values and priorities of Obama.
Obama Choosing to Err on the side of Protecting Americans enemies instead of erring on the side of protecting Americans from their enemies...
Nice Start ODumbo.
I see nothing good coming for America and this is just the start. This country has jumped the shark and is in an XXL sized hand basket headed to hell.
The question wonderingly used to be asked; how on earth could an evil man like Hitler come to power in a civilized country and nobody could see it coming or did anything about it?...
Well, I understand "how" now, and sympathize with those good and decent Germans who saw it coming, could do little about it, and yet suffered right along with those others who got everything they deserved. I fear we are in for the same fate.
People and nations, both, reap what they sow. We have sown the wind and will reap the whirlwind.
Geez, Louise, the frickin’ libs are even touchier NOW than they were before the election, and I’m not in the mood for it. One of them started spouting off about how it was good Bush got booed because he’s a war criminal and should be in shackles, and I responded that the Kenyan/Indonesian Obama has no business even setting foot in that office and will be lucky if he doesn’t get frog-marched out of there in shackles for the fraud he’s perpetrated on America, which is equivalent to either treason or espionage, and should probably be punishable by death. It’s bad out here, it’s damned bad.
