KSM terrorist trail may be moved out of New York City

Suggesting Khalid Shaikh Mohammed be tried in New York City federal court was judicial theater in the first place, and now Mayor Michael Bloomberg has requested Attorney General Eric Holder take his road show somewhere else. Hey, I seem to remember we’ve got this out-of-the-way court set up somewhere warm…

Guantanamo detainees treated MUCH better than prisoners in USA

That’s the way I figured it, and my figuring is confirmed. As I noted on Jan. 22, 2009, President Obama had no plan at all – let alone a workable one – to close Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay. He won’t meet his self-imposed deadline, and now many think Gitmo may never be closed.

20% of Released Guantanamo detainees go back to fighting (Update)

A classified Pentagon assessment measuring the recidivism rate of released Guantanamo detainees indicates one in five – 20 percent – of them return to jihad. Previous reports in Dec. 2008 (11 percent) and April 2009 (14 percent) shows a trend as the more dangerous terrorists are released over time.

Guantanamo terrorists sent home to fight again

President Obama will miss his self-imposed deadline to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, but he’s still working to dump off terrorists on other countries before he brings some to U.S. soil. A couple it seems, are back in “countries” not recognized as real countries. How did this happen?

Closing Gitmo – The Executive Branch can not act alone

Even though President Obama directed the U.S. government to purchase the Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Ill. and house no more than 100 detainees from Guantanamo Bay in the facility, Congress still represents the people, and Congress may block Obama’s plan. Read more

Crowder goes to Guantanamo Bay – good perspective

Interesting video from PJTV and the Louder with Crowder series. Crowder provides a good perspective and some video I have not seen of the Guantanamo Bay area. The baseball field, Subway shop and other amenities are interesting, but Crowder does a good job of getting his point across on how the terrorists are being treated.

Obama failure: Guantanamo Bay not closing – time to blame someone

President Obama never had a plan to close Camp Delta, the detainee facility for the worst of the worst terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Like many liberals, he felt it was the right thing to do, made a big deal about the issue during the campaign, and kicked off his term by committing to close the facility in one year. Epic Fail.

Told you so: Obama will miss Guantanamo deadline Update: Video

No plan … it was not going to happen. They are trying to pay off every country possible to hand off terrorists currently housed at Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay. I knew it. You knew it. President Obama will miss his self-defined deadline to close the facility. Read more

I’m linking to a couple of other blogs concerning the document dump and the attorney general’s announcement that an independent investigator will be looking into alleged criminal activities during the interrogation of terrorists.
