These people are afraid of their own shadow. This has nothing to do with national security for the USA or the international community. This is 'the political payoff' of the Right Wing Media to the extremists 'of Bush.'
The House is corrupt. This is a prime example of it.
The current attack on the Obama Administration from the Right Wing Extremists that sincerely imperil the USA with their corrupt ideology is a direct result of 'the promise' of Right Wing Media for vindication in losing in 2008. Let's face it. If the Right Wing Media can't deliver what good are they. So they convinced Sarah Palin to pursue the 'wealth' of politics to 'bring back' the old corrupt and 'culture of fear' standards of the Bush Administration to carry out exactly THIS.
Like I said. The Tea Baggers started their rant BEFORE President Obama even took office and before there was any change in policy, so all this mess and it is a mess, has been engineered by the Right Wing Media in their 'Economy of Words' during the first two years of this presidency.
This is NOT good policy and it is not the President's goal. He is simply too pragmatic to be as stubborn as the extremists we find in the House right now and he wants to begin to return some kind of judicial process to the human beings detained in Gitmo.
Conservatives claiming "vindication" for Bush on Gitmo are wrong (click title to entry - thank you)
By Adam Serwer
Yesterday the Obama administration announced it would file new charges in military commissions, indicating that the president's promise to close Gitmo will go unfulfilled for the foreseeable future.
Conservatives committed to burnishing Bush's legacy were quick to claim vindication, arguing that the decision proved that the detention camp at Gitmo was a good idea all along. But Obama's decision doesn't prove this at all.
The administration also released an executive order outlining its new indefinite detention policy. Not much has changed from when I first wrote about it a few months ago -- the new procedures formally adopt what Karen Greenberg referred to as "the heart of Bush policy" while making the process marginally fairer by allowing individuals detained indefinitely who have lost their habeas cases to be represented by counsel during periodic reviews every six months....
The Right Wing extremists in the House of Representatives are not good legislators, they do not examine the facts, they base their votes on ideology and they are a danger to the Constitution of the USA. This is PROOF.
