The problem with Gitmo is that it is American soil. We either have
laws on American soil or we don't. If we do, we compromised all of
those cases when they finally come to trial.

That is not American soil, it is in Cuba, precisely why we put them
there. This is not an embassy. Gitmo is a particularly ambiguous
place. Legally it is simply leased from Castro, just like a base in
Japan, Germany or Turkey. We actually send them a check every year
that they refuse to cash.
We can even say we are following the laws of Cuba since locking up
political prisoners there is the normal thing to do.
Obama must see the convenient irony too since he has done nothing to
change the situation.

Do you ever get the feeling you're conversing with the plume operating under a nom de plume?
