On this issue, Republicans can PLAY POLITICS and also do what is best for America, at the same time!

Obama is starting to show signs of stress and frustration and defensiveness.

He wants to be on offense, we MUST keep him on defense, all the time!

“Detainees were tortured there under the Bush administration”

Nope. No bias there at all. Sheesh.

The fun part of all of this will be when the transferred prisoners go ballistic when they realize that U.S. Federal prisons don’t have the same amenities as Club Gitmo. The grass isn’t always greener....

As the father of a son who was at “ground Zero” on 9-ll I sadly opine that IMHO it will take yet another simular (or greater) terrorist attack on US soil before the majority of the American sheeple actually wake up and realize they are, and have been, totally “duped” by obama

I heard that and was surprised no one voiced any opposition.

they will just sue the federal government and make the federal prisons give them the amenities muslims claim they are suppose to have... Just wait until some lawyers take up their cause and a federal judge orders some of them released...

Agree... A statement that makes the issue sound like a settled fact is a red herring (something intended to divert attention from the real problem or matter at hand). The whole article becomes a psychological ploy to attack the Bush administration from that point on. The political and legal processes followed by the Bush administration were vastly more complex than what a statement implies...

He’s only doing this to spite his critics. Granted he’s wrecking the country, but that’s just more hatred against the Democrats and it’s what they justly deserve.

Lord, please remove Obama from his position of power. Let his own corrupt nature bring him down, Lord. Let the wickedness that he has done throughout his life catch up with him, and bring about his downfall. He does not deserve to be where he is, he is destroying the country, Lord. We need a leader who builds us up, not tears us down. We need a leader who doesn’t takeover prvate businesees and strongarm corporate officers with threats of PR destruction by the DC media, we need a leader who wants American businesses and business people to prosper. We do not need a leader who gives nuclear plants to other countries, we need a leader who will allow us to build the newest, safest nuclear power plant designs here at home.

Lord, Obama is dismantling the country. It may deserve to be dismantled. But Lord, please do not allow that to occur. Let Obama’s wrongdoings from the present and past come back to haunt him, and take him down. The country cannot survive with him at the helm, Lord, he needs to be removed. Remove him by his own underhandedness, Lord.

Thank you, God.

The more defensive he gets the more we know we’re needling him. Push push push and he’ll have a total breakdown and we’ll be free of him.

President Obama...insisted that moving terror suspects to top-security U.S. prisons would not pose a public risk.

Once again this man is wrong, wrong, wrong. Apparently he isn't aware, but more likely chooses not to be aware, that one of the largest growing "religious" populations in prison is Muslim. There are many young men converting while in prison.

So...he is saying there will be NO members the religion of peace, who are released from prison, that will engage in jihad. I say you bet there'll be many who'll be happy to be a defacto member of the Taliban and will have learned the techniques at the feet of Taliban minions in prison. Great idea zero - not.

"Detainees were tortured there ... "

Stopped reading at that point. The author is clueless. If by "torture", he is referring to waterboarding, that occurred elsewhere, in "CIA secret prisons". Any reporter worth a damn knows this. KSM was waterboarded in March 2003. He did not make it to Gitmo until September 2006.

As Gitmo is a military prison, and only the CIA was authorized to waterboard, the waterboarding had to occur elsewhere.

It’s like he’s begging to be impeached.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Lord, please remove Obama from his position of power. Let his own corrupt nature bring him down, Lord. Let the wickedness that he has done throughout his life catch up with him, and bring about his downfall. He does not deserve to be where he is, he is destroying the country, Lord.

Are pigs flying?!

Rachael Maddow on PMSNBC is going after Obama!

She is even more LEFTIST than Obama if that is possible.
I guess she wants the TERRORISTS released because she is against Obama’s ‘prolonged detention’!
