#8  #7 How about we classify them as serial or mass murderers then? Posted by: JohnQC

Absolutely, and we label the O'Bambi administration as accessories after the fact.

If ONE American dies as the result of this stupidity, Obama, Emanuel, and the Attorney General all three need to hang from lamp posts in DC.

#5  "insignificant or insubstantial support of al Qaeda or the Taliban."

So does the purden of proof for "insignificant or insubstantial vs significant or substantial support" rest with Private Suffy..., or must he call to the rear and get a legal opinion prior to detaining someone? This is a very dangerous finding and will eventually effect or ROE. But of course, that's probably the intent.

#4  So just GITMO? What about the detainees at Camp Cropper or Camp Bucca in Iraq? These guys at the Obama DoJ can only kick the can for so long on this baby.

#2  So capturing them in combat with AK47s and not in uniform means muslim terrorists get free airplane fare home, a hero's welcome and a teenage bride. Methinks the Obama administration is putting perverse incentives into action.

#1  The governmentÂ’s new standard relies on the international laws of war to inform the scope of the presidentÂ’s authority under this statute, and makes clear that the government does not claim authority to hold persons based on insignificant or insubstantial support of al Qaeda or the Taliban.

We will now call the former terrorists Fuzzy Bunny Muzzis insignificant to the Taliban holding a bound toilet roll formally known as the koran.
