ONLY if you protect me!

I understand that closing Gitmo won’t stop muslims from hating non-muslims. But it’s one less thing the traitorous MSM can harp about.

[sunmars]

as we thought, Obama used all those lefties to defeat Hillary and then shoved them all under the bus, at least Hillary was honest and wouldnt commit. Obama shafted all the antiwar lefties and drove a tank all over them.

Serves them right for believing a lying snake in the grass.

[Syncro]

No problem, that's part of my job description.

“Hot Conservative Babe Protector”

[tomnbeverly]

Political Expediency as he swings hard left and the United Social States of America Emerge for generations.

[Syncro]

But it’s one less thing the traitorous MSM can harp about

They harp about it for just the reason we have been stating on this page.

They want to intimidate conservatives so they capitulate to their liberal terrorist supporting programs.

We won't fold or buy into their underhanded lying tactics.

[Syncro]

Obama used all those lefties to defeat Hillary and then shoved them all under the bus

The sad thing is that they treasure the tire marks on their bodies, and still venerate The One.

Amazing.

[Professor_Leonide]

Uh oh, the moonbats aren’t going to like this.

[Boiling Pots]

Why are Jihadists given such a comfortable lifestyle at our expense?

Shouldn’t they have been executed on the battlefield?

[Yaelle]

I’ll be right back. I’m going out to buy a copy of the NY Times, because surely this is on the front page, above the fold, how Gitmo was humane all along...

[Fred Hayek]

Ooops! He just lost the most extreme element of his base.

In that case the report would have to be buried, and those associated with generating this report need to be discredited and disciplined since it goes against the “trooth”.

That BTW is not the most extreme element of Zero’s base - that IS Zero’s base!

[AuntB]

This mess might have some entertainment value after all.

Popcorn!

[DannyTN]

Sometimes it’s wise to pick your battles.

Besides, they didn’t intimidate any conservatives. They intimidated Obama.

[Syncro]

Oh it's not very important.

The mods took it out of breaking news.

I hope you don't mind me providing a bit of news analysis. I call it: Gitmo complies with Geneva: al Qaeda's lawyers slam Bam, Pentagon report

Click the image to watch a 30-second slide show about Guantanamo Bay No less than the New York Times reports:

A Pentagon report requested by President Obama on the conditions at the Guantánamo Bay detention center concludes that the prison complies with the humanitarian requirements of the Geneva conventions, but it makes many recommendations for increasing human contact among the prisoners, according to two government officials who have read portions of it. ... The review, requested by President Obama [emphasis added mine] on the second day of his administration, is due to be delivered to the White House this weekend.

Unsurprisingly, the Times editorialized in its news report and accused the current administration of ordering a report, with a predictable outcome, to further its political agenda:

The request, made as part of a plan to close the center within a year, was widely seen as an effort by the new administration to defuse the power of allegations during the Bush administration that there were widespread abuses at Guantánamo, and that many detainees were suffering severe psychological effects after years of isolation.

"Widely seen" by whom? The obvious answer is widely seen by the editors at the Times and al Qaeda's lawyers. Yet the hilarious part the Times saved for the end, one of those lawyers slamming President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder:

“This is really running the risk that the review is just a big whitewash,” [a lawyer for Guantánamo detainees at the Center for Constitutional Rights Gitanjali] Gutierrez added, “and we expect more of the new administration.”

In law offices big and small across the nation, 500 lawyers must be hyperventilating into small brown paper bags.

[Syncro]

Well, they seemed to get you to agree with Obama.

It's always to pick your battles.

[muawiyah]

The MSM doesn't particularly care.

The rest of what I would post is entirely too gruesome even for me to consider. To say the least, I do not wish any of the MSM well.

[Uncle Miltie]

"a series of steps that could be taken to allow detainees to speak to one another more often and to engage in group activities..."

...like conspiracies and rioting.

[dbz77]

The only credible argument for closing Gitmo is that it would be more efficient to kill terrorists upon capture.

[TribalPrincess2U]

GW is laughing his ass off.

These socialist knew Gw was right. They just wanted to give him grief
on everything and they would not work with him at all.
Scum, all.
