re: #71 Buck

Gitmo is NOT a concentration camp in any stretch of the imagination.

It is legal (within the law) and no there are no easy alternatives. If there were Obama would have proposed it.

It is “legal” because we have declared it so and ignored any countries that have said otherwise. After all, who are they going to turn to, the UN? Meanwhile, there are dozens of men who can look forward to remaining incarcerated for the rest of their natural lives, because the previous administration’s actions have made it all but impossible to try them in our own courts.

That is kinda my point. The Obama who ran for office would have insisted on it. He made it seem like he could negotiate with the worst dictators. The hope was that he could talk to our enemies…

It’s funny, but I don’t remember Libya ever being mentioned as a country we were willing to negotiate with. You have evidence to the contrary?
