Obama has so far...

Years was an exageration obviously, but it can take many months to even get to trial and then there is the whole trial process which can take another month or two (depending on the crime of course).

That is why we have a Bail system in place in the U.S. so people don't have to sit in jail that whole time waiting. But these guys could not be allowed to go free on bail.

You still haven't come up with ONE SINGLE argument for not trying them after all these years......

IF they're the big, bad boogie man you claim to know they are, TRY THEM.

Fucking ChickenHawks.

Why do people insist upon using Wikipedia as a reference source? It's hardly infallible, and more often than not is like using a Road Runner cartoon to explain Einstein's theory of relativity.

Who is "them"? Do you have names? Do you have numbers? Really, who is THEM? Who has sat in there for "YEARS"? Name a few.

Look it up somewhere else if you wish...it'll say the same thing.

Obama is not your saviour. He may be the muslims saviour, but he's not yours, so stop worshiping the guy.

And I like how you politely ignore the fact that he is hiring a crook to run the treasury. If BUSH did that you'd be all over it.

Some people have open minds, and some people are sheep, it's pretty obvious that there are some political sheep running around here.

Because he's a lazy Busheep ??

Some people have open minds, and some people are sheep, it's pretty obvious that there are some political sheep running around here.

Which would also mean that there are several open minded folks running about as well.

While I'd agree that no elected official warrants the idea of being called a savior, comparing the Obama regime to the Bush presidency is somewhat disingenuous. The Bush administration had eight years to flourish (if that is the right word), whereas it has been what...24 hours since the new guys received the keys to the White House? Hardly time to develop a legacy, ya know? Perhaps some of the Obama appointees will prove to be howling mistakes. Yet that in and of itself remains to be seen at this point.

Do I believe that we as a people will suddenly join hands, become unquestionably united as a nation in order to restore the liberties and undo the wrongs perpetrated both globally and internally in the past near decade, within the next 45 minutes or so? Of course not. Yet predicting failure when dealing with any administration on only it's second day of service seems not only foolhardy, it would appear unfair. After all, far too little time has passed to provide for any sort of perspective.

I'm not expecting great things from the guy, only a glimmer of hope. The collective sigh of relief you are hearing across this country is not so much for change (which is merely expedient), only that there is a potential for things not continue in the manner in which they did.

here's the real issue:

the "enemy combatants" were captured and given indefinite stays in custody. they had no way of knowing if they would be locked up for 2 weeks while interrogated, or imprisoned for life. they had no formal court hearing from which to argue whether or not they deserved their imprisonment, let alone to try and find out how long they might be held.

as has been said, if they're guilty of something, great, charge them.

And probably 98% of the people at GITMO had nothing to do with 9/11.

100% of those being detained at GITMO have fucked a camel's ass from behind, therefore Allah has beseeched this blessed nation to detain said creatures in 5x11 concrete boxes until they go mental and kill their own selves.

That being said, I'd be keeping them busy with hard labor such as the lessons of history from Auschwitz taught us which is that hard work makes the life sweet.

Then I'd break out the Zyklon B.

Who cares? Allah does not wish His camels molested - let's keep them in cages until they die of natural causes.

Or unnatural causes, such as starvation boycott protests.
