Indefinite Detention

And as far as incarcerating them for years without trial while claiming that law was irrelevant and the rights violations that DID ensue, that's all on Bush. And the end result is on both of them.

Yes that would be correct. Seems to me that Obama is doing virtually the same thing, without the ridicule and outcry from those who did just that to Bush. Interesting indeed.

And also WITH the ridicule and outcry of those who did just that to Bush. As mentioned pretty prominently in the originally posted article.

Bush according to many, broke the law by keeping these people at Gitmo for so long. Obama apparently wants to rewrite existing, or write new legislation so that this can be done "legally." Whaaat?

Where is the ridicule or outcry? Get real.
