No offense, Tim, but are there any Bush Administration abominations which
you righties won't deny or try to rationalize away?



You must be aware, Harry, that the concept and purpose of having a jail or
detention center off of US soil wasn't Bush's invention or creation. It's
been a legal means, upheld by the Supreme Court, to hold people who fall
into a unique and hazy category where they are not really military, but they
aren't really civilian either. They aren't prisoners of war, but they
aren't entitled to a trial in a civilian US court system either. It's been
around for a long time.

Perfect place for captured foreign terrorists.

He's just going to pay other countries to keep them for us and thus
claim that he's "closed" GITMO.

He's slick, but much like Carter and Clinton, he thinks he smarter
than everybody else.

Sorry President Obama - a lot of us aren't as stupid as you think we
are.
