Obama Issues Directives on Detainees, Interrogation, Guantanamo (Abortion too)
FoxNews ^ | 01/22/2009 | Fox News Staff

WASHINGTON -- President Obama, putting his executive pen in his left hand to overrule eight years of Bush administration policy, signed "several" executive orders Thursday, including ones affecting national security and abortion.

The national security orders mandate that interrogation techniques in the Army Field Manual be used by all intelligence and law enforcement services; call for a task force to look at closing the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within the year; and order a strategy be developed for handling detainees in the future. The presidential directive also orders a stay in the case of Ali Al-Marri, the only person being held by the military as an enemy combatant on U.S. soil.

I’m puzzled. The quote you have says that “the administration issued a reversal of a ban....”

The text in the article doesn’t say that.

It says that “the administration was set to issue a reversal of a ban....”

Did Fox edit their article, or did you type it wrong?

Apparently it hasn’t been signed yet. I think?

I guess the 09/11 families have gone on the record as furious that the trials at Gitmo have been put on hold. Good for them.

I believe so. Also, WOAI in San Antonio interviewed a terrorism expert in one of the local universities and he labeled the action as dangerous and naive.

he seems very confused at what exactly he is signing.

The left said Bush mumbles but phony here stutters more than Bush did.
He is clueless and has no idea what on earth he is signing.

OMG we are so screwed with this idiot, he is way out of his depth.

no only is he classless but totally clueless

He has no idea what he’s doing and mumbles worst than anyone.

The message he says is that America will prosecute those who want to kill us

wow I bet Bin laden and his muslim nut jobs are scared now
The he says we are taking the moral high ground, we;’re fighting a war you DUMB IDIOT..

ARF

So in essence if we catch you we will bring you back here and we will give you a lawyer paid by the tax payer and don’t worry we will see that this lawyer will try to get you off the charges but if not then you will go to jail where you can play soccer, exercise, play x box and do some drugs while making some money and brainwashing some prisoners

WE ARE SCREWED WITH THIS DUMB IDIOT

Yes, and now it’s our job to frame this for what it is.

The socialists, marxists, and democrats among us voted this man in.

Let’s see what their wisdom has ushered in.

Document, document, document...

Interesting....I cut and pasted the quote from the Fox website this morning.....must have gotten changed???? Honest I DID NOT do ANYTHING to the quote.... Now it says...."Separately, the administration was set to issue a reversal of a ban on federal funding for non-governmental organizations working outside the U.S. that offer abortions or abortion counseling."....

This is what was there earlier....""Separately, the administration issued a reversal of a ban on federal funding for non-governmental organizations working outside the U.S. that offer abortions or abortion counseling."

While the economy continues its Obama Meltdown, he worries about terrorists. The Coward in Chief is in place.

New Yorkers voted for and financed B. Hussein Obama, they won’t get my sympathies when they get hit again. The banking and wall street wizards don’t get my sympathy either. Not to say I want them attacked, but they won’t be as innocent the next time.

As others have stated, Obama’s first official acts are to take the hope of the unborn and given it to the terrorists. The man has different priorities to say the least.

That is odd.

I have no doubt he’s going to sign it. Maybe he’s trying to get on pro-lifers’ good side by not doing it today, out of some kind of pseudo-respect.

I’m not falling for it.

Can’t argue with you. Just have to get my life together and get the hell out of ground zero.

Thanks for expressing the sentiment the right way. I’ve seen others who haven’t.

Just heard Sheperd Smith say “Pokiston” like Obama, instead of Pakistan—wondered how long that would take....

You and I are in agreement concerning both Obama and McCain’s policy on GITMO, but my question concerned their “policies”.

Between the two parties, would you prefer a McCain/Palin administration or an Obama/Biden administration?

I believe that the McCain/Palin leadership would have been better of the two choices.

The land of California COULD be self sufficient but we have a majority of malevolent lunatics bent on destroying themselves and everyone else around them.

Oh, come now Doughty One, we all know that the Messiah has come. He has said numerous times that he loves America and will govern from the middle of the aisle. He is so compassionate in fact, that he is releasing enemies of America! Doesn’t this give you a “tingly feeling” up your leg? Obama is an idiot...it will be a long 4 years.
