Keyboarding is Torture

By:

2009-01-22
President Barack Obama signs a series of executive orders, Jan. 22, 2009, pertaining to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, as retired generals and admirals look on in the Oval Office of the White House. Obama ordered the closure of the camp and banned the use of controversial CIA interrogation techniques. But he left open the question of how his administration will deal with any detainees it concludes are too dangerous to be released.

Damn…I was hoping I’d wake up this morning to some brilliant, erudite post on President Obama’s latest stroke of his executive pen, keyboarded by MataHarley, Mike, Scott, Skye, Rob, or Curt…..

….but no.

So…… DISCUSS!

    Mata: here is something new on the EU, I tend to think they are now in a box. They will have to repatriate (and deal with) their own citizens if they are going to support Obama’s closure of Gitmo.

    Yeah, I liked this quote:

    Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said European Union members should agree on terms and conditions for housing at least some of the 50 “as a logical consequence of our arguing for the closure of Guantanamo.”

    Checkmate.
