re: #326 Ding-an-sich Wannabe

Well, his point is that since Obama allegedly claims that he is not bound by the Congress in the matter of releasing the prisoners, he has no excuse in not releasing them. That would amount to de facto abolition of Gitmo, though de jure it would still exist - the physical complex, that is. This conundrum is perhaps the only interesting detail to emerge out of the Bergdahl non-story.

Might be a good point if he hadn’t jumped on the “Obama bad…he broke the law, just like Bush” bandwagon. He cant have it both ways.

Tells much of the story of the last 6 years: “Senator Obama had a very different view than President Obama.” http://t.co/hgLxjfI9I7

Why cant he at least give Obama some points for doing what Glenn himself appears to think was the right thing?
This is what bothers me so about Greenwald. There is a hatred there, similar if not equal to the RWNJs. He never relents even when he agrees with the President.
Maybe this is a beginning for Obama to close down Gitmo. Hell, it cant get much worse than this!
