BEIRUT, Lebanon — The emergence of a former Guantánamo Bay detainee as the deputy leader of Al Qaeda’s Yemeni branch has underscored the potential complications in carrying out the executive order President Obama signed Thursday that the detention center be shut down within a year.
Yet, this happened despite Guantanamo Bay detention being open. And, of course, Obama isn’t suggesting that we release all of the detainees so dangerous detainees won’t be released, just moved depending upon their classification. This isn’t a complication of closing Guantanamo, it’s a complication of a bunch of boobs running our government for 8 years.
Those who oppose the closing of Guantanamo and the return to the rule of law will be putting out all kinds of stories to suggest that if they close GITMO terrorists will be living among us!
Kit Bond is running around as if we are settling them in neighborhoods. He wants to put them in Alcatraz since only those folks from San Francisco care about it.
