Family members of people killed on September 11, 2001, and in other terror attacks say they are outraged by President Obama's draft order calling for the suspension of war crimes trials of prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay.
"To me it's beyond comprehension that they would take the side of the terrorists," said Peter Gadiel, whose son, James, was killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11. "Many of these people have been released and been right back killing, right back at their terrorist work again."
Obama's request on the first full day of his presidency came as a draft order was being prepared ordering the closing of the Guantanamo prison within a year. A judge responded by halting the case against a Canadian detainee accused of killing an American soldier in Afghanistan, issuing a 120-day continuance in the case.

Anything i have to say about this jugg eared socialist “magic negro” will only get me put in time out or kicked off F.R.
Yep yep yep yep yep. I knew this was coming.
Obama wants fairness to those who would murder us all given the chance, but refused medical treatment for a baby born alive following an abortion attempt.
If ever there was an evil man in the White House, this new president is representative of that evil.
After 4 years Obammo will have put our great country at substantial risk... this is just Barry’s opening shots.
While I agree with the families this is an outrage, I can’t help but wonder ‘who’ they voted for. Did they thank Pres. Bush at the same time for locking up these terrorists?
Good point.
silly..haven’t you learned by now it doesn’t matter what ears does or how he puts this country in jeopardy, that everything will be blamed on GW and republicans?
the MSM wears custom designed kneepads and will not allow the annointed one to take any blame whatsoever..he can do whatever he wants..he has more teflon than the don..
Peter Gadiel, Who did you vote for?
I don't think Obama is evil per se, I think he is a totally confused Marxist. Guantanamo Bay was one of his BIG promises i.e., he would close it day one in his presidency....these killers are combatants, they are our enemy. Let your elected know NOW how you feel about the lack of protection for the nation Obama is showing...he really isn't 100% pro-America is he.
This should come as no surprise to anyone. The senator from parts unknown has a record of being a terrorist sympathizer.
I’m certain william ayers isn’t the only one he’s colluded with.
What I don’t understand is why anyone would be surprised by this, did the obots not listen when bo spoke or what?
Soon the families of the killed military will not count. islamics count.
And then, the families of police and firemen killed in the line of duty will not count. terrorists count.
Welcome, one and all, to the new "communist states of obammica"!
This should outrage everyone. In the days right after 9/11, we were a country that was determined never to let its guard down again. But now...It’s pathetic how quickly so many in our country have forgotten the events of 9/11. This whole course of direction is so sad for the country, especially the young children who will have to bear many burdens beset by this generation.
Welcome, one and all, to the "communist states of obammica"!
He is following through with what he promised during the campaign and people are surprised and outraged? What did they expect? This isn’t just his decision, it is also with the advice and consent of all his advisors and the Dems in congress and the senate. We are now governed by the most leftist government is our history with the approval and, in most cases, the support of the “Republican” Party.
I’m more upset at the stopping of the trial of the mastermind of 09/11. This is the guy who CREATED the plan to kill all those Americans. And what exactly is the point in stopping his trial? I thought a trial was supposed to be a good thing and what the lefties wanted.
