Now that we're fully into the Gelded Age, we need to discuss important stuff, like things that might get you blown up. You can see on the news all the kerfuffle about Obama's campaign promises and the resultant backtracks, re-characterizations and adjustments.
Take Gitmo: Staunch Bush-hating anti-war types insist that Gitmo is wrong and those "possible terrorist-criminals" do not pose a danger to the USA or the world.
A bit of rain on your parade: Report: Ex-Gitmo detainee now al-Qaeda's No. 2 in Yemen
"Al-Shihri's case highlights the complexity of Obama's decision to shut down the detention center within a year despite the absence of rehabilitation programs for ex-prisoners in some countries, including Yemen. The Pentagon also has said more former ex-detainees appear to be returning to the fight against the U.S. after their release."
Once you get through Obama's executive orders, you realize he's not doing anything different than Bush. And the best rehabilitation for a terrorist is a bullet to the head.
In the end, the terrorists in Gitmo should be tried by Military Tribunal and hanged, shot, microwaved or attached to some daisy-cutters and dropped back into Afghanistan.
We won't do that, of course, but it's a nice idea.

I just read where a few of the released Terrorist are up to their old tricks appearing in new videos for Al'Qaeda. I think loading them all on a boat shipping them back to Afghanistan with hopes the boat sinks on the way is a good idea.Not that we would purposely sink the boat or could we?
