Obama Admits Closing Gitmo Could Endanger Americans

[red states rule]

Apparently keeping a promise to Code Pink and Moveon is more important than protecting Americans in their homes. He admits that it is dangerous, but will do it anyway to appease his base

MATT LAUER: — to be less of a threat. But if one of those people that's released goes back and takes part in the planning of or carrying out of an attack against U.S. interests, you're gonna have a Willie Horton times 100 situation on your hands. How are you gonna deal with that?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Of course I'm worried about it. Look, the — you know, I have to make the very best judgments I can make in terms of what's gonna keep the American people safe and is what — what's gonna uphold our Constitution and our traditions of due process ... If we don't uphold our Constitution and our values, that over time that will make us less safe. And that will be a recruitment tool for organizations like al-Qaida. That's what I've gotta keep my eye on.

What is going on in Obama's mind?

Is it on the job training?

Is it stupidity?

Is it a manchild in a mans body?

He is catering to Code Pink, Moveon, and the Psychoblues kook wing of the Dem party

He is under pressure from these special interest groups and he obviously is placing their desires ahead of the good of the nation, and National Security.

It's called governing with a responsible frame of mind, dumbo. We'll all have to get used to it as we haven't had it in so long now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and when those released terrorists kill innocent people - perhaps Americans - will you take the blame or pass the buck?

Individuals who have already been released from Gitmo have caused harm against Americans and our interests.

Fuck it..... shoot em!

The rest of us don't have to experience your personal paranoia. We all have concerns that are more legitimate than those you intimate.

Lame dodge PB

Other than appeasing Code Pink and Moveon, what purpose does it serve?

If it has been proven that released terrorist are re-offenders, why do you want to bring them here and give them ACLU lawyers?

Have another drink and take a drive?

Of course closing Gitmo is dangerous. Keeping it is dangerous too (and pretty much illegal in my opinion). It is a perfect call-to-arms for any would be terrorist out there. Bush totally mucked up in creating it and fighting to treat terrorists as a special class of person, and Barney the Dinosaur would be hailed as a martyr if he was placed there.

He should have treated them as pure POWs kept in camps in their own country (which could by now have been handed over right back to the Iraqi's/afghanis) or as pure criminals (in which case they would be serving their prison time), not fighting to try and establish a special new category of enemy combatant.

Keeping them separate has caused far more problems as a result. Obama is thus left with a bitter taint he has to clean, and there is no way its coming out easily.
