How closing Gitmo really sells out liberals...
Edited on Tue Jan-13-09 12:38 AM by Teaser
Obama is once again straddling the fence on Gitmo!

The liberal position is to close Gitmo, sow salt in the ground and nuke the site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

Obama's closure order is a half measure, and a half assed one at that.

5. Well, it's a nice symbolic gesture
...but I think that Cuba might want it back, so we could give it to them without the 100 year contamination - lol.

6. The liberal position is one of treating prisoners humanely.
The liberal's position also holds intelligence in high regard.

And intelligent people should be able to recognize that in addition to recently being a prison, Guantanamo has been a naval base for, oh, about a hundred years now. And shutting down naval bases, and ending mistreatment of prisoners, are two seperate and essentially unrelated issues.
