GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - The U.S. moved Tuesday to halt the Guantanamo Bay war crimes trials, filing a late-night motion to suspend proceedings until President Barack Obama's administration completes a review of the system for prosecuting suspected terrorists.
The motion, filed at the direction of Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, will be considered early Wednesday by the military judge hearing the case of five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Ok...how many more of these midnight decisions should we expect?
Oh My God
I just don’t see how this doesn’t turn into a P R disaster in the long term. I mean, the guys at Gitmo are the scum of the earth. A Dukakis moment coming up I think.
Just step 1 of returning to the Clinton methods of fighting terrorism. The culmination of that great work was 9/11/2001.
WTH?? Why is he so obsessed with Guantanamo??? I guess some of his relatives are there.
Lincoln freed the slaves, BO may free the terrorists.
A little thing..but shouldn’t the headline be Obama Administration not US..I would think they would put Bushes name on something if it sounded bad...
“But we must have a system for protecting terrorists, not for prosecuting them, don’t you understand; we must change it as quickly as we can so more of us can be killed by them. It’s called setting out to lose the war as quickly as possible. It is a little bit different from what Lincoln did, however.”
Then after they attack again and kill more Americans, someone can create a movie blaming George Bush. They can say that Obama did everything he could to stop terrorism while the Bush administration lied to the American people.
I think Rosie O’donnel would make a fine narrator. Sean Penn can play Obama.
Get used to it my friend.
Lincoln freed the slaves, BO may free the terrorists.

I’m using that as my tagline today.

I guess that is why Secretary Gates got to keep his job. He agreed with Obama. Well it does give the Obmababots the warm fuzzie-wuzzies. After all, their President Obama is simply emulating the Great Terrorist Ayers’ American Dream, “Guilty as hell and free as a bird” lifestyle choices.
Treat Gitmo murderers kindly, while removing arms from the hands of law-abiding US citizens with the AWB.....and do this during a time of war when we have been attacked internally!
Insane!
Sorry, Bill and Hilly already did that. Nothing new here move on. Amen.
