Watching Barack keep a stone cold look on his face during and after the joke was even better.

video or it didn't happen

Isn't it interesting that the remaining red states, the states that still largely favor limited government, are pretty much the same states that favored limited government 150 years ago? It seems that 'northern aggression' has returned with allies in the west. For what it's worth, and that may not be much, never assume that might makes right or that the majority is right. We've said all along that the "South shall rise again." Maybe it's time to revive the Confederacy (without the impediment of slavery). Friends, something needs to give. "We're not in Kansas anymore!"

lolol

Fuck the south. With the exception of a few pockets (Austin, Southern Florida, etc), it's all a bunch of socially backwards fucktards. Let them become Jesusland.

thats some amazing intolerance you have there sport.

Oh yea baby, Obama stirrin' up the White House.

People who think it's all about America are dumb. This sort of thinking will only cause more wars and problems in the long run. SHORT-SIGHTED THINKING!

Everyone is connected these days. Our economy is the world economy. Our actions affect our status in the world!

Nice elitist attitude. Part of the reason I refuse to align myself with the Democratic party.

Nice blanket statement. Part of the reason I don't use generalizations when pointing out other peoples generalizations.

...Pending review
Prosecutor Clay Trivett said all pending cases should be suspended because the new administration's review of the military commissions system may result in significant changes. Obama has said he will close Guantanamo and many expect he will scrap the special war crimes court and direct that cases be prosecuted in the U.S.

In Washington, the administration circulated a draft executive order that calls for closing the detention center within a year and reviewing the cases of all the nearly 245 still held here. The government would release some, transfer others and put the rest on trial under terms still to be determined. It was not known when Obama intended to issue the order....read more

This could be interesting indeed, I feel its good thing to re-eval the prisoners being kept at this place and possibly relocating them to new facilities closer to our control.

But i`m not sure of my opinion of not procecuting those involved in 9/11 or if we do will we make them martyrs as they claim?

Put a man in jail in solitary confinement with no access to the outside world but don't kill him and his martyrdom status quickly fades out.

I think this would show him how little he really is...no 72 virgins for you!

But our humanitarian rights activists will be all over that in an instant.

[Sharmai]

No they wouldn't. We do it all the time. Besides that we can cite being humane and not giving him the death penalty. Or better yet just say it's "for his protection".

Solitary Confinement isn't always people being locked in an unlit cell 23hrs a day with no window.

It's just keeping them seperated from the normal prison population. A 9/11 terrorist in the normal population would be fucked.

A sheep-herder who was found out to be innocent would still be fucked in a normal prison once it was found out he was even held or questioned at Gitmo.

The place is a modern gulag(ideology-wise, not condition-wise) and Americans should be ashamed we let a place like that even exist.
