It is no accident that President Obama was in China when Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the 9/11 terrorists at Gitmo would be tried in New York, in civilian court.

Today is November 13th, 2009, and Gitmo is still open, and occupied by “detainees’”. During the Presidential campaign, then Senator Obama promised that he would close Gitmo, but as far as I know, he never promised “when” he would close it, so he has until January of 2013, before we can say that he broke his promise. Oh well, politicians break promises all the time, and President Obama is no exception to that rule. Instead of Chariot Races in the Roman Coliseum, and gladiators slaying each other, Obama is giving the people the modern day version in the New York courts. It will be a Roman Circus, for sure. As a P.S. to my previous post, “Diane Feinstien Is Right About Gitmo” . According to a FoxNew report, Senator Feinstien supports bringing the Gitmo prisoners to American soil. By way of illustration, she suggested that the Gitmo prisoners could be safely housed in a maximum security facility in Colorado. As a Californian, I would like [...] I am all for closing Gitmo, and moving the prisoners to American soil. I think we should do it NOW. Bring those rascals to American soil, let them use our court system to their full advantage, give them a fair trial, imprison, or execute the guilty, and release the innocent, and let the chips fall where they may. And do it in public; I don’t want to hear about secret trials, or national security issues. If President Obama is sincere about upholding American values, and principles, and re-establishing American credibility in the world, then, by gosh, the whole legal process needs to be in the public eye. |
