Obama

Could Obama permanently neuter the far left wing by continuing to fight the WOT? I think so.

When I asked a reporter with contacts in the intelligence community what the planned closing of Guantanamo meant in practical terms, he was blunt: “If a group of dangerous terrorists are held without public trial in an American prison or military base, as opposed to an American military base in Cuba, have the underlying legal issues changed?" We will, he said, "have to wait and see, as many of the hardest questions on detention and interrogation have been put off for later."

I don't get why closing Guantanamo is such a big deal. But if it'll shut the idiots up and let us get on with the business of winning the war - I say - why not?
