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

USDOJ ^ | 12/13/09 | US Department of Justice

By next week, we’ll probably hear from the Obama Justice Dept. that Rush Limbaugh is now an enemy combatant.
****************************************************

LOL* it would be even funnier if there wasn’t a chance of that happening.

[2harddrive]

LOL! Sad but true!

[plain talk]

If they are not “enemy combatants” do they believe they are “friendly non-combatants”?

I think the Obama idiots have screwed themselves here. Bush claimed that his responsibility as commander-in-chief to protect America was virtually unrestricted, and could trump certain constitutional constraints. This he could hold even American citizens with no charges, no right to counsel, no rights to confront witnesses,....If Obama, the new leader of the Muslim world, were half clever, he would have embraced this concept of presidential power, and used it to nullify the Second Amendment and disarm America “for our own safety.”

Karl Rove coming up to discuss this with the Friends.

[Miss Didi]

Karl Rove says this is a change of label not policy—this is a sign of the gratuitous slaps at the current administration and at their predecessors for reasons that are beyond me. What are they going to call them now—guests of the US Govt., not-so-friendly-people???

Obama continues to ‘negotiate with terrorists’ (if not give them Cabinet positions), and marginalize our military, our citizenry, and our National Security. The unintended consequences are clearly visible to all not drinking his Koolaid.

John Walker Lindhs defense attorney is going to work for Justice.

Methinks there's an oxymoron in there somewhere!

[CRBDeuce]

It's simple, really. Radical muslims are really just confused. They only think they want to blow us up. We need to understand them, feel their pain, apologize to them for offending their sensibilities. We can change their minds and hearts if we just try harder.

Clearly, flower children have escaped from their prisons, therapists, psychiatrists, drug rehab centers, law schools, etc, and are now planning payback in the halls of Kongress.

[CRBDeuce]

This “ruling” is Obama’s way of saying “I will free my oppressed and wrongfully imprisoned brothers!

Next 'ruling' will be all drug charges are dismissed, and all drug convicts released from our prisons (to make room for Rush Limbaugh listeners everywhere?). So instead of 'shutting down' overlapping federal agencies, we've voted to shut down our prisons, open our borders, and give criminals free houses (with crammed down mortgages). There's an 'I told you so' in there somewhere, but who's listening!

[CRBDeuce]

Like your tag...”Ignorance allows liberalism to prosper”, and its corollary “Planned ignorance (NEA, Dept of Ed, Public Schools) allows liberals to vote for Obama (against their best interests of self survival...PC for Suicide).”

[CRBDeuce]

If you want to know how far we are past 9/11, here’s your answer: Our president’s name is Barack Obama.

I know you meant to say: "If you want to know how far we are past 9/11, here’s your answer: Our president’s name is Barack Hussein Obama."

BHO will have a problem.

These Muslims at Gitmo would love to blow up the whitehouse. With BHO in it.

But, if they blow up thousands of American citizens first .. If my loved ones are hit in this country because he allows it ... there will be retribution. I know I am not the only one with this disposition. Ammo shelfs are being emptied across the nation since he was elected.

Your enemies list “Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli and Joe the Plumber”, was not all inclusive, of course. So let me add a few: “401Ks, IRAs, pensions, jobs, industries, capitalists, banks, thrifts, etc”. His new friends list: “Unions, communes, bread lines, taxes, dictators, muzzies, illegals, drugs, pushers, La Raza, rubes, lawyers, prison escapees, ACORN (almost forgot these anti-capitalists).....”

The Department of Justice is considering a name change, Department of Kangaroo Kourts, to more properly reflect its leadership. The Kangaroo Kongress is pleased.

The Left would be unemployed if they did it Right.

Copywritten by 1010RD. Historically Correct in every way....perhaps even more descriptive than 'liberalism is a mental disease'!!! and we heard it here first! I predict bumper stickers.

[CRBDeuce]

political/cultural correctness is the death of all great civilizations. we have learned nothing from our history.

political/multicultural correctness is the death of all great civilizations. we have learned nothing from our history. PC/MC will be the death of capitalism if Obama doesn't get the credit.

[CRBDeuce]

Since Gitmo has been deemed to harsh for housing our enemy, he might well start putting Marines there for shooting them.

Nawww, now that liberals have upscaled Gitmo to Billion Dollar Resort status, he'll gift it to Castro on his announcement that the US is suspending the boycott on our friendly neighbor.

[CRBDeuce]

To the naive liberal, it’s all about the language. if it sounds better, that’s what’s importanat. The fact that it’s useless or doesn’t work is irrelevent. They are, for the most part, a little certifiably insane.

Note 'change'.

[CRBDeuce]

I wish you hadn’t said that...
