Obean to sign executive order to close Guantanamo within one year
The new Obama administration circulated a draft executive order Wednesday that calls for closing Guantanamo Bay within a year and halting any war crimes trials in the meantime.
Bwahaha! Just in time to add additional pain to his reelection bid. Too bad foreigners can't vote for the US president. They are relegated to the political sidelines and only allowed to contribute vast sums to the candidate they feel will benefit them the most.
Closing the facility in Cuba "would further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice".
Blah blah blah. I'll bet you're so sure of it that you haven't included provisions to reopen Club Guantanamo should it not quite work out as planned, as evidenced by our soldiers being able to travel the world in uniform and unarmed.
Some detainees would be released, others would be transferred elsewhere and later put on trial under terms to be determined.
Smells like ... rendition!

#2 Article is one year and one week old. Which means the due date on his promise in NOW. Very appropriate to post this one year later to show the world how irrelvant Obama is.

#3 Obviously not. Maybe I should put my picture next to Obeans up there!

Well, it's a good reminder.
