So, can I ask, if Obama wants to be oh so fair and do the right thing by these terrorists then why is he talking of holding people indefinitely in prison without charging them? I thought he was better than Bush or so he always likes to say!! Seems to me he is doing the exact same as Bush did. I guess he now sees that he didn't and doesn't know it all!

If he closes Gitmo and actually moves any detainees I'll be shocked. He'll cave in once he sees no one wants to house these men in their states.

And one more thing. He stated no one had ever escaped from a super max prison, well he is dead wrong! Someone did escape from one in North Dakota. So it can be done!! And they escape from max security prisons all of the time, just Google it and see people. The man is feeding you bull once again! Yet CNN didn't do their homework and report the truth about it. Instead they let it slide.

Hi Anderson,
"TELL Cheney to give President Obama some of that money to help our American president he made with HALLIBURTON. You reap what you sow. He looks like a TROLL and his face is not on any dollar his bills so he does not count literally!!." TALK is cheap."

Several things are different about a tribunal as opposed to a civilian court: 1) The jury is composed of only military personnel 2) How can a 20+ year old housewife who doesn't know the difference between a M-16 and an AK-47 judge the innocence or guilt of an enemy combatant? 3) If members of the civilian jury have never served in the military, they would need a course in military tactics and terminology to understand parts of the testimony. Finally, why should we (the taxpayers) have to pay the lawyers bills to defend the mastermind of the 9/11 WTC attack?

Thank you

Why have the UNITED states suddenly become a bunch of major
whiners about doing the difficult but right thing? Why are they almost
all lacking in the courage to take at least one terrorist from GITMO and
proudly do their part as AMERICANS? How about each state stepping
up to the plate and doing the PATRIOTIC thing by incarcerating a 9/11
terrorist or two. Seems real Americans would be fighting over the
right to have one of these haters of America behind super-max
security in their state. It's the least some of our blowhard politicians
could do. This "not in my backyard" stuff is pathetic and a real
slam to those who perished on 9/11. And a black mark against this
nation's collective backbone. Write or call your congresspersons to
do the right thing.

This entire Gitmo mess is a DIRECT

Why is it so expensive to close GITMO?Investigate, charge and relocate. Some detainees can be returned to their respective countries and charged for expenses incurred. Should determine who is responsible for excessive interrogations and set standards for future interrogations.

Considering Mr. Cheney's past personal struggles embracing basic principles of truth and honesty while in office, it is difficult to understand why, since the voters pulled his public platform out from under his feet last November, he's credibility is so rarely challenged on the over-abundant amount of air time he is now being given by the media. For the Sunday morning 'talking heads' to endorse the idea that he is taking to the airwaves because concern for the good of the country fills his heart is, to be blunt, horse pucky. Mr. Cheney's heart is obviously filled with concern for not his legacy, but for his legal posterior which could possibly be hung out to dry if a real Truth Commission is convened or an independent prosecutor is appointed by the Attorney General.
