Or is this super-ironic thread about how people erroneously blame Obama for stuff he has nothing to do with, when really it's Bush's fault we're in this mess? That was it, right?
Er? Who blamed Obama?
The point was that this is happening because those of those who raised a huge stink about Gitmo in the first place. This includes the ACLU, a host of Liberal political organizations (which I suppose is redundant now that I think about it), and a whole bunch of well meaning people like most of the posters on this board who fell for the simplistic calls for fair trials and accusations of torture.
The political pressure to give these people trial or release them came from those groups. This was done knowing that most of them would end out being released because the evidence against them was classified. That is exactly *why* prisoners held in this state can be denied the right to a trial, but that was ignored by those groups because their hatred for Bush and Gitmo far outweighed any sort of common sense and rational thought about the reality of the situation at hand.
I do love how it's never the fault of the guys who fought so hard to force the release of those prisoners. Nope. Blame the Republicans who got overruled on this one instead... Cause, they were in charge, right? It happened on their watch!!! Lol...
