Obama's moves on Gitmo

We expected this to happen. President Obama's bold first moves on Guantánamo Bay and military commissions have been met by brazen campaigns of misinformation from those who want to retain disastrous Bush administration policies.

Fox News (the ultimate slime-news) is raising the specter of terrorists living in people's "backyards." Senators are saying that bringing detainees to the U.S. "will endanger American lives." Rush Limbaugh is spreading the totally unsupported claim that 61 already-released detainees have "returned to the battlefield." And, naysayers continue to make claims that our criminal justice system is incapable of prosecuting terrorism suspects.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff HAVE AN ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY to stand behind Guantanamo Military Judge James Pohl UNTIL OBAMA OVERCOMES “RES IPSA LOQUITUR” BY SUPPLYING HIS LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND PROVING HIS ELIGIBILITY TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE US CONSTITUTION.
