What kind of a president declares that he is going to close a prison before he knows what to do with the prisoners?
A dangerous one!
This guy has not a clue what he is doing.
You guys crack me up. We just had one of the most arrogant, moronic, backward thinking presidents of our time, yet here you are up in arms over a false premise.
You don't think Bush's occupation of Iraq and turning it into a terrorist recruiting ground was dangerous?
"Both Obama advisers said it's hoped that nations that had initially resisted taking detainees will be more willing to do so after dealing with the new administration."
A newsaccount this morning, by Robert Gates, said that other countries have offered to support the US in it's closing Guantanamo.

We should have thought of that BEFORE we kidnapped and held people who may be innocent.
All problems with this are a direct result of US mis-steps.

Bush used drugs, too. Yet you blindly follow him. What about his continued drinking throughout his presidency?
Your double standard is so telling.
You mad because no one ever wanted to smoke pot with you?
Well, I can see why.

Wouldn't it have been smarter to have the plan on what to do with the prisoners in place first before making the announcement and now scrambling to set up a "blue ribbon commitee" to discuss what to do?
"In a stunning blow to the Bush Administration in its war-on-terrorism policies, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign nationals held at Guantanamo Bay have a right to pursue habeas challenges to their detention. The Court, dividing 5-4, ruled that Congress had not validly taken away habeas rights. If Congress wishes to suspend habeas, it must do so only as the Constitution allows — when the country faces rebellion or invasion."
And the supreme court got it wrong!
They are not infallible you know. Do you realize that the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 in favor of a citizen of DC's right to bear arms?
That's the 2nd amendment and they almost voted against this guy.
There was also a case in Connecticut where a town siezed private homes to give to a developer to develop an apartment building because the town wanted more taxes.
The case went before the Supreme court who ruled that the town acted appropriately.

Reason: Make your point without all the language, we have filters for a reason
If we have proof, then give trial and jail, if only a hunch, send them back, and we got no biz telling other countries what to do with them. If Yemen had so many terrorists why did Bush invade Iraq, and 'free' the Shiite Muslim Fundies - where most of the 'terrorists' come from?
Our sats can read newspapers from space - believe me, our intelligence probably knows what all of the so-called terrorists eat for breakfast.
