Is Obama going to address this GITMO crap?
Because I'd like to hear what he has to say on the matter.

1. He already has. See his Executive Order and instructin to DoD.
He supports military tribunals and indefinite detention.

2. I was hoping for a press conference.
This is infuriating.

4. No.
Do you really think you will hear him admit: "Well, President Bush and Sen. McCain were right; sorry for those campaign promises I made."

He didn't say anything like that that after he approved of extending the Bush tax cuts for the richest ... I doubt he'll say anything similar about Gitmo.

5. ARGH!
If I hadn't just recently shaved my head, I'd be ripping my hair out.

6. I'm still waiting for that discussion on guns
he said was coming. I believe GITMO has been discussed by his order he signed.

7. My read on this is that the prisoners at Gitmo have the goods on
people we rely on for oil being involved in 9/11 and the only way to keep that from blowing up is to keep them stashed where they are.
