Mr Obama had halted the trials as one of his first acts on taking office in January, saying the US was entering a new era of respecting human rights.
The decision to revive the military trials has brought harsh criticism from some US civil liberties groups.

BBC NEWS | Americas | Obama to revive Guantanamo trials

What do you guys think?

IMHO, Bush criticism is totally over-dosed. It's impossible to reverse all of his decisions, totally. His detractors can probably give up on the rhetoric and just agree to the fact that his policies were not totally nuts. He was a strong president with strong opinions.

Note: Please refrain from Obama/Bush bashing. I'm a neutral observer without any affiliation to Reps or Dems.

As long as Obamatrons keep blaming Bush for the CURRENT woes and the failed policies of today, his ghost will haunt many of their excuse making apologist behavior.

Further proof that Obama wants to keep on breathing, so he will do what ever the Bilderbergs tell him to do.

Ever since the election campaign, I've been arguing that it's plain rhetoric and the "Change" can never be implemented in full, based on ground reality. The supporters often dismissed this illogical and that we have real "change" on the table.

Change is one thing, but policy overrules change.

Besides, I had a feeling GW will have a better legacy with the passage of time. From the way it's going, he'll probably have a healthy legacy in a few years.
