Maybe the prisoners will be lumped in as agents of Iran, as a form of standing army, and we're about to enter a war with Iran. A war with Iran would qualify for Geneva convention provisions.

Codifying the Gitmos as Geneva protected would signal a major expansion of the WOT, if the above is true.

"impossible to keep quiet for very long"

I agree. It MAY be something about OBL...or not. Certainly if SOCOM captured OBL, or found his body, only the US would know about it near-term. Eventually the word would leak from the terrorists...but their means of transmission is limited and would take a few days to reach Al Jazeera etc.

I'm sticking to the opinion that it's a BIG announcement in the WOT. The 911 families sealed that opinion for me.

It is to be about high profile detainees in secret detention camps. Could it also be confirmation that BinLaden is either in one of these camps or is dead?

Enormous AMOUNT of news today, to me, makes it sounds like several big stories rather than one.

I'll guess we'll have to stayed tuned!

Could be something about Iraqi WMDs found somewhere...or unilateral actions against Iran...or ultimatums...or North Korea massing forces/prepping missles.

Anyone live near a major, strategic bomber base? Home for B1's and B2's?

In the meantime, break out the small talk. (j/k) That Cruise baby upthread looks freakishly old. Beautiful, but odd.

Old? LOL!

Apparently, this was a regularly scheduled speech on the WOT. He wanted to announce plans about Gitmo, too and that is why he has the 9/11 survivors there. I think something else must have happened since this event was planned that he would want to annouce it to the nation.

Good point. Could be the volume of important news rather than the weight of one particular item.

I'm waiting. :)

The most curious thing is that nobody here really has a clue as to what he'll say. Why not? Usually someone knows beforehand because it's no big deal.

Well whatever. There are women ironing at that hour, Mr. President, and they don't like unpleasantness when they're ironing. Yank their soaps, you better have good news!

Thank goodness. I am so tired of doing all this stuff in secret. It will be SO much better when I can get the credit I so richly deserve for being on board with it all.

Libs don't know what respect is, they live their lives full of hate and hostility for what is good and right in our world.

Why would the President want CBS and the others to cut in fot just a run of the mill speech ? and if it is important, why not have the Networks cut in tonight, there are no football games. the networks can re arange things as they have always done.

this is confusing.

something is not stirring the kool aid here.
