WASHINGTON (AP) - The Associated Press has learned that
President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order Thursday to
close the Guantanamo Bay detention center within a year and halt
military trials of terror suspects held there.
The executive order was one of three expected imminently on how
to interrogate and prosecute al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign
fighters believed to threaten the United States.
A senior Obama aide said the president would sign the order on
Thursday, fulfilling his campaign promise to shut down a facility
that critics around the world say violates domestic and
international detainee rights. The aide spoke on condition of
anonymity because the event has not yet been announced.

2b, i want you to listen to this little girls call from the wtc on 9/11 and really think about how stupid your post is.

No sir…you have no point at all. Try talking that garbage in New York…you go tell them they were deserving / or asked for it…and see how long you remain upright!

Civilians are killed in every war…no getting around it. Do you honestly believe we knowingly targeted a wedding party with nothing but civilians with a $600,000 cruise missle knowing there was no military benefit??? I know of the incident you are refering and you really should read up on it more. Im done with you…you are no American as far as im concerned…

ah 2b, timothy mcvay. was a terrorist. just like john walker. we do not TARGET innocent people. when was the last time you saw a beheading by americans on national tv. when have we strapped c4 to a mentally challenged girl and FORCED her to go blow up herself and others. oh which wedding party? the one where hamas sent homicide bombers in strapped with c4 and nails with the INTENTION of killing innocent women and children. do you remember at the start of the iraq invasion when our troops tried to help a pregnant wonan and all were blown up because she was full of c4.

Tell me the last time a country fired a cruise missile and blew up a wedding party on U.S. soil?  Different people fight different ways.  Remember WWII?  The Japanese pilots suicide bombed.  I can’t spell this but KOMICASZY.  People fight different.  One guy fights with words, another with his fist, another with a knife, another with a gun and people like the AMERICAN Timothy McVie blow up children.  A soldier jumps on a grenade to save his friends.  He knows he will die.  He is a hero to us.  Maybe they think when someone walks in with a bomb strapped to them and know they will die, but want to save their friends from what they see as danger.  Maybe that is a hero to them.  We may not understand it, but we aren’t from their culture.  The Boston Tea Party was a terrorist attack.  Many times U.S. Troops raided Indian Villages and slaughtered innocents.  Even mentally handicap little Indian girls.  The hands of America is just as bloody as anyone else’s hands.

2b
We as Americans dont fly airliners into civilian populated areas to target civilians for killing nor do we blow up restaurants and trains with civilians as our targets. You are way out of line in your comments. Our soldiers dont target civilians…theres do…or should I say terrorists…far from being a soldier. You should be ashamed of youself for what you have said about our military personnel. If you are so upset by our countries actions…LEAVE AND GO LIVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST..Im sure you will enjoy it.

One more thing…you are a moron.

2BorNOT2B - I think they are looking for you in Florida….. for the 191st time!

2b, tell me how many people just going to work has the united states sent a jet full of innocent people in to kill? name one time the u.s. sent a mentally challenged girl in strapped with c4 to blow up people. the united states signed a treaty with cuba forever ago. eisenhower is the one who started the cuban thing when castro a communist dictator came into power.  castro sent all his undesirables over here and laughed about it. cubans were fleeing so he sent a xtra bunch with them. not to worry murtha has volunteered his home state to house them. with a mininum security jail.  all is well.

How many parties of innocent people has the U.S.A. blown up in these wars?  I’ll tell you. Tens of thousands.  Don’t talk to me about killing innocents.  I am well aware of the fact of what happened on 9-11.  I shed as many tears as any one else. I was even a fool and put a sign I made myself in my window.  On typing paper I wrote the words U.S.A. one letter per sheet.  Why?  Cause I refused to leave the house to go buy anything else.  I didn’t want to miss one second of the coverage.  Don’t tell me about 9-11.  Then a few days later, the Lord woke me up.  I took the sign.  I realized that sign and the the signs like it had cause 9-11.  Pride had delivered the judgement of God upon us.  Sometimes innocents die in war.  What makes an innocent Iraqi life any less precious than an innocent American life?  NOTHING.  We kill innocents.  They kill innocents.  Get over it.  Mankind is violent.  WKRG stories tell us of this violence around our city of Mobile ever day.

Have been watching the press conference…good to see mainstream media asking some tough questions. I liked the one about transparency-in that how can it be transparent, if no one has access to the second swearing in?

Since Gitmo and ending the war in Iraq has become the top focus-what happened to the campaign promise that the economy would be top priority? That that would be the top focus on day one? Is this an example of lip service? After all, actions speak louder than words.

When you are dealing with a group of people willing to strap bombs on their own women and children in the hopes of killing one American, they have to be dealt with differently than a common criminal.

Obama is gambling with our lives on this deal.  If we are attacked on American soil under his watch, that will be his footnote forever more in history books.
