President Obama signed an executive order Monday that will create a formal system of indefinite detention for those held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who continue to pose a significant threat to national security. The administration also said it will start new military commission trials for detainees there.
The announcements, coming more than two years after Obama vowed in another executive order to close the detention center, all but cements Guantanamo Bay's continuing role in U.S. counterterrorism policy.
Administration officials said the president is still committed to closing the prison, although he made no mention of that goal in a short statement Monday. The administration's original plans to create a detention center in the United States and prosecute some detainees in federal court have all but collapsed in the face of bipartisan congressional opposition.
It's a very long (2 pgs) article but read about it here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/07/AR2011030704871.html

This sleazebag actually said "Political prisoners? What political prisoners? Give me names!" - and did it with the popeyed innocent expression of an infant. Obama then bloviated about the salutary effects of "interaction" between the two countries - implying that if we trade together, human rights will naturally come to Cuba. Mr. Obama has obviously never heard of China (no, Barry, not "Chinatown" with Jack Nicholson). You know, that biggish country due west of San Fran ...

By Scott Horton 1. “Asymmetrical Warfare” When President Barack Obama took office last year, he promised to “restore the standards of due process and the core constitutional values that have made this country great.” Toward that end, the president issued an executive order declaring that the extra-constitutional prison camp at Guantánamo “shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than one year from the date of this order.” Obama has failed ...

interesting points. The article is about the ban. It seems to me that the president should continue, as both Bush and Obama did, on putting new and adventagious things in the vetting process. We can always improve on things but an all-out ban to me is not adventagious. The video in this touches on a few other points. Perhaps listen with an open mind and maybe you will see how this "fine tuned" machine is running. ...

No matter how much you hate him this is a good article. Cut him down all you want but it won't change the truth. Here's a quote from the article: Mr. Bush said that "the role of government is not to create wealth, but to create the conditions that allow entrepreneurs and innovators to thrive." I wish it was someone else who has said this because a lot of people sole purpose is hating and cutting him down, which diminishes from the importance of the article. http://www ...
