What’s going to happen is that the terrorists will be bought back here for trial in Federal civil court. They will be subsequently let out on technicalities and will sue the government for money (Which will fund terrorist activities). The terrorists will then return to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

You must understand the reasoning of a marxist to understand this move.

Disorganization, mayhem and confusion in the public square will upset the apple cart of freedom so as to impliment marxist policies.

There must be sufficient contempt for the status quo in order to replace the status quo.

***Attorney General Holder. “The change we’ve made today meets each of those standards and will make our nation stronger.”***

This has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever read. He changed the name but did nothing else.

It’s a fact that a couple of hundred terrorists have already been released from Gitmo and many are already back at it. There is specific evidence of this.

What will Obama and his Socialist Party say when we have another 9/11, or worse? Another 9/11 would destroy what is left of our economy, our republic, and the Constitution. Chaos would ensue. No doubt the terrorists know this, and are making plans.

The release of the Gitmo rats is a major threat, but Obama is asleep at the wheel. He’s already a failure as commander-in-chief.

provides that individuals who supported al Qaeda or the Taliban are detainable only if the support was substantial.

so that means that if they only build 2 EID’s a year (and manage to kill a few American soldiers in the process) and are not involved the rest of the time, they’re off the hook, right?

So the men that died to put these evil bass turds into captivity were just fools.

Thanks Mr. President.

I have never seen anyone so incapable of siding with the people of what he claimed to have been his own nation.

It is looking more and more as if his loyalties lie everywhere but in America.

What a slap in the face of our armed forces.

Obama now equates the Taliban and Al Qaeda to nothing different that our own declared armed forces who fight according to international understandings.

Terrorism? Well according to Obama our troops are no different than that Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Killing innocent woment and children? Well according to Obama our troops are no different than that Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Throwing bombs in busy market places? Well according to Obama our troops are no different than that Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Roadside IEDs? Well according to Obama our troops are no different than that Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Beheadings? Well according to Obama our troops are no different than that Taliban and Al Qaeda.

These matters are above Obama’s level of understanding.

We’ll just do what we did in the Pacific in WW2.

No prisoners.

Department of Justice Withdraws “Enemy Combatant” Definition for Guantanamo Detainees

In a related story: "Bad guys" are now to be referred to as "Non gender specific individuals not necessarily identified as good".

Perhaps our new rulers in Washington can make good use of these newly minted "noncombatants" as part of the newly established Civilian Defense Corps - sort of like the Janissaries, but in reverse.

For sure, they owe Osama, er, Obama and know it and will want to give some real payback for all his help. They ought to be more than willing to help out his team against the Infidels.

Exactly right. And with our tax money at work again.
