KROFT: Some of it being organized by a few people who were released from Guantanamo.

OBAMA: Well, there is no doubt that we have not done a particularly effective job in sorting rough who are truly dangerous individuals that weve got to make sure are not a threat to us, who are folks that we just swept up. The whole premise of Guantanamo promoted by Vice President Cheney was that, somehow, the American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists. I fundamentally disagree with that. Now, do these folks deserve miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.

He and Pelosi and Reid are nuts someone should see if their brains are rotted from an STD or something.

Obama wants everyone driving little unicorns while he flies his 747 to go on date night. What a fool.

If they are reading them their Miranda rights..then they are not covered by the Geneva conventions and they aren’t POW’s.
If they are doing that..they need to preserve the crime scene’s and physical evidence also.
This is crazy.
