Indefinite Detention

I see no other decision Obama can make without risking his image. As I said earlier, if a released Gitmo prisoner does commit a terrorist act on the United States, Obama is screwed.

Not to mention the fact that the potential terrorist could have initially been innocent.

So that same potentially innocent person is going to be incarcerated for...... ever???? That is on Obama, not Bush. I'm still amazed that the press isn't going crazy over this.

It's on Obama AND Bush. And if anyone is still incarcerated without trial under the next president, it will be on them as well.

Not anymore - This is his baby now. Rewriting the laws is 100% on Obama and the ramifications or benefits are also Obama's alone.

And plus, you know, an, uh, act of terror gets commited. Which isn't usually, like, loosening the tops of salt shakers.
