America's reputation will be restored some and we will be human again.

from earlier today...

from Rush..." after just two days in office...his top priority was to extend the rights of terrorists "...ouch !!

I would really trust or beleive anything Rush says. He has a oneside agenda.

He doctor shopped for oxys, lied about it.. If it was anyone else they would still be sitting in a 8X10!!!!!

They are held at gitmo without a trial so how do you know they are guilty of anything?

I know, Rush is one of the most out of touch, prejudice, discrimination SOBs out there

then why is he suspending trials for them?
and why would you make an executive order to close someplace and not have a plan on what to do with the detainees?
kinda bass akwards if you ask me. JMO

he said they would close it in a year

to give em time to determine what to do with the prisoners

I doubt they are gonna give reparations

The tribunals that were to be held were put on hold for 60 days I believe. Considering that many of them have had years of torture and never been charged it is understandable that you would end the torture first and get the people there ready by signing the order to close within a year.

Obama was "reversing a Bush Administration policy to hold terror suspects and accused enemy combatants at a prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and halting military commission trials." The Financial Times reports Obama is "preparing to sign an order on Thursday that would call for the detention facility in Cuba to be shut within a year."

Two other orders, says the AP, will "review military trials of terror suspects and end harsh interrogations." AFP notes the draft also says "no one should be held in any detention facility controlled by the United States in conditions that do not conform with Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions."

"The swift steps by the Obama administration countered an attempt by advocates of the war crimes court to see the internationally maligned military commissions forced onto the new White House."

"sources...said Obama also will sign two executive orders altering CIA detention and interrogation rules, limiting interrogation standards in all U.S. facilities worldwide to those outlined in the Army Field Manual, and prohibiting the agency from secretly holding terrorist detainees in third-country prisons." The Washington Times also says Obama's will "order the closure of so-called black sites, where CIA and European security services have interrogated terrorist suspects."

........

Military Commission Act has been called unconstitutional by many and also against International Law.

Avoiding having United States in general maligned for any possible crimes. Limiting scope of any possible investigation to the Administration of Bush.

Avoiding more situations where a 'suspect' who is a citizen of the United States or an allied nation will be transferred to a country which will turn a blind eye to torture.

I never knew I wasnt human
