re: #209 keithgabryelski

I’m sorry, I lost the context.

Some of the things President Bush did with Gitmo and its prisoners were, by supreme court ruling, illegal.

My point was: It wasn’t President Obama’s decision to hold the trial in NYC, it was AG Holder, and it would be illegal for President Obama to attempt to sway the AG’s position (I believe it is illegal, someone correct me if I am wrong here, please).

As I said, I’m not a lawyer, but if this was a simple legal issue it would have been decide long ago, by the lawyers and/or the Supreme Court.

I don’t believe your assumption that Holder decided this major policy issue regarding what is war and what is crime by citizens by his own little peewee self.
