Keukasmallies Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 Detainees don't want to be sent home. Three hots and a cot appear to be appealing to a great extent. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/11/29/gitmo-detainees-reportedly-fighting-transfer-to-home-countries/
IDBillzFan Posted November 29, 2013 Posted November 29, 2013 "You can't send me home now! We just got the new Xbox!!!"
KD in CA Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Huh? Gitmo is still open? How is that possible? Obama promised to shut it down back in 2008 and the news media hasn't mentioned its existence since.

Chef Jim Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 So wait, sending them to their home country would be torture for them? Is there a reason they're not on a flight home now? I'll pitch in for first class seats. And loop Dumb and Dumber on the flight too. Let's really torture those MoFo's. Waterboarding......pfffft.
KD in CA Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 How about just using them as ordnance for target practice over Vieques?
BringBackFergy Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Why not cut a hole in the fence that faces toward Cuba, bury some land mines out about 500 yards and watch the fireworks as they sneak away in their white robes with Quran in hand??
DC Tom Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Huh? Gitmo is still open? How is that possible? Obama promised to shut it down back in 2008 and the news media hasn't mentioned its existence since. Oh, that's just a statement Obama made at the podium. It's not like it's a binding article of law or anything...
OCinBuffalo Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Christ, without GITMO, NCIS would lose half of its plot drivers. I've been watching the reruns on a pirate site from episode #1. I like this Fornell guy. Also...does anybody now the executive order # for close Gitmo, offhand? (i mean, do you remember things like that, just to use them later?) I always thought Executive Order, with or without the #, would be a great name for a band, or a bar.

I always thought Executive Order, with or without the #, would be a great name for a band, or a bar. No number that I can find. But it does have a clause... c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. So it's not like he HAD to close Gitmo, since he officially had his fingers crossed while writing the order.
Cinga Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Is anyone at all really surprised?? Let's try this instead... Tell me just what this POTUS has said that has actually turned out to be true???
3rdnlng Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Is anyone at all really surprised?? Let's try this instead... Tell me just what this POTUS has said that has actually turned out to be true??? He was going to fundamentally change this country?

Nanker Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Is anyone at all really surprised?? Let's try this instead... Tell me just what this POTUS has said that has actually turned out to be true??? There must be something in here that answers that... http://youtu.be/MyW9e5QdWxk

So it's not like he HAD to close Gitmo, since he officially had his fingers crossed while writing the order. He did indeed. Especially when his handlers wrote this part: "Sec. 3. Closure of Detention Facilities at Guantánamo. The detention facilities at Guantánamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order. If any individuals covered by this order remain in detention at Guantánamo at the time of closure of those detention facilities, they shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States." Because as the country now knows, there ain't no consistency in that triad except what the vagaries of the Divine Princely President's daily whim dictate.
