In view of the significant concerns raised by these detentions, both within the United States and internationally, prompt and appropriate disposition of the individuals currently detained at Guantanamo and closure of the facility would further the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice," the draft order said.

At least three military prisons — in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Camp Pendleton, Calif., and Charleston, S.C. — could house some of the Guantanamo detainees,.. Also under consideration, .. the Supermax prison Florence, Colo.

They will sue for illegal detention and will demand millions for pain and suffering. Then their lawyers will demand to put the confidential informants on the stand. Then they will probably walk.

Where to? Maybe they will get an apartment in your neighborhood. Maybe they make great brownies. Maybe they will get a tax refund.

Very comforting news to the families of victims of 9/11 and all the other terrorist attacks responsible by those being held at Gitmo.

I've already advised my Democrat congresscritter that it would be an act of war against the people of the United States to put any of these pukes on the East Coast ~ if they have to house them put them in downtown Seattle!

Patty Murray will know what to do eh!

So, this guy in the White House wants to treat the surviving families of 9/11 victims to watch this scenario: the planner of that attack, who was trying to confess in his trial at Gitmo will be transferred to a civil court in NY to be tried on a much lesser charges, and where a lefty lawyer will tie the government in knots and perhaps get him off.

And this is what the American people really want? And this guy actually taught Constitutional Law at a law school not based on matchbook covers?

Maybe if they promised to only kill liberals and O voters - it would be OK.

An elaborate and dangerous election payoff for trial lawyers. A win for the terrorists from B Hussein 0.

Obama is now complicit.

what is it about Gitmo that this guy comes in and signs this executive order within hours of taking office.
What about the dreadful economy? what about everyone who is losing their job, stores closing???
whose terrorist shoulders are we trying to rub?
he’ll have only come into some of this info since taking office, and already he feels like he’s ready to make a decision?

It scares me.

Who wants to bet with the next 365 days, Hamas and Hezbollah are taken off US list of terrorist organizations and will be allowed to fund raise in the US again?

His friends are inside Gitmo. He would like to get them up here so he can pass them off to Democrat judges to turn loose.

I know what we can do with the detainees...

We can transfer them to a new prison on the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

Problem solved, and Obama can at least keep one of his “Promises” while keeping these pukes away from us...

But, this is not what 0 wants to do. Instead, he wants the terrorist scum to go through the civilian system where they will be exonerated.

Your close Waco....

In Mass, Specifically Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard...

The Liberals want them to be treated with human rights and justice well they can have them in their vaulted playground....
