What do you think will happen beyond the president's detainee policy?

I imagine the detainees at Gitmo will be scattered between other countries and, perhaps some transferred to a max prison here in the U.S..

I can see the U.S. run prison in Afghanistan, with its 600 or so detainees, swelling with new captives. I'm thinking that the locations might change, but the way we treat detainees - holding them indefinitely, without charges or trial - will continue past what I believe will be a broken-down tribunal process (no matter how revised).

Net effect? I think the U.S. will continue to appear to the rest of the world as the opportunistic oppressor we all know we are, despite all of the trim we anticipate the Obama administration will put on the detention policies.

1. We must USE our judicial system. Congress has NOT declared war so a separate

facility is NOT Constitutional.
