I won!

Now what?

[subterfuge]

I said from the beginning The One won’t have Gitmo closed until just before the 2012 election, if then.

ME for President!

What did they expect..the Spanish Inquisition? Honestly, these guys are pinheads.

"I did not witness any mistreatment of prisoners. I think, to the contrary, what I saw was a very conscious attempt by these guards to conduct themselves in an appropriate way," he said.

Seriously, if guards ARE going to mistreat prisoners, will they do it when the Attorney General is watching?

[maggief]

Ah, come on! What are you, a coward?

[Billthedrill]

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Well, somebody had to post it.

Put them on a boat to America.

During a hurricane.

Oops, it sank.

[Sergeant Tim]

In other words, AG Eric Holder said, "Gitmo aint broke so President Barack Obama is fixing it." I'm sure they both hope that al Qaeda will change its ways, close its 150 terrorist training camps in Pakistan, and stop butchering people in response to Guantanamo closing.

How about we just keep the detention facities at Gitmo open and al Qaeda's killers locked up there until they no longer are a danger to anyone, however long that takes?

haha thanks for playing =)

“...What’s more, in the dark halls of Abu Ghraib and the detention cells of Guantanamo, we have compromised our most precious values. What could have been a call to a generation has become an excuse for unchecked presidential power. A tragedy that united us was turned into a political wedge issue used to divide us...”

From Obama speech on August 01, 2007

[Sergeant Tim]

Go figure. Holder found no problems at Gitmo ping!

[freekitty]

It shouldn’t be closed at all fool.

[OrioleFan]

Obama and Holder are planning to use GITMO to hold political prisoners starting with Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rush, and Hannity.

[austinaero]

It won’t be easy?
Really?

Wow, what a braintrust this guy is.

[RichInOC]

[cue Jack Nicholson as Colonel Jessup]

“Gee, General...ya think?”

[LucyJo]

Closing Guantanamo, he (Holder) said, "will not be an easy process. It's one we will do in a way that ensures that people are treated fairly and that the American people are kept safe."

The convoluted and ever changing criterion that Libs use for determining fairness is the kicker.

[Eagle Eye]

Makes ya think that sometimes they actually believe their own rhetoric.

[SueRae]

File this under N.S.S.

I continue to be amazed at how utterly naive these people are on National Security (although I shouldn’t be...how many of them actually did anything but protest or vote against Bush defense policies)

[SandRat]

Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday the Guantanamo detention center is a well-run, professional facility ..

LIBERAL heads to explode.

[RC2]

Obama needs to go there also. Maybe then he will understand.......probably wouldn’t admit it though.
