    Maybe now we can get Omar Khadr released. The way American and Canadian officials have dragged their heels around this issue has been disgraceful.

    This is nothing more than political posturing, a move meant to appease liberals and little else. Obama has no idea what he's going to do with these prisoners, he said that the US Government would prosecute them or deport them. If it was that simple Bush would have done the same thing. The problem being almost half of these prisoners cannot be tried in our courts and their host countries do not want them back. Essentially he closed Gitmo to move all these prisoners to a similar prison in Afghanistan.

    And so it begins... :shitstorm:
