I fully support Obama's decision and position on Gitmo, but I would take it a step further and do the entirely unconventional; I would embrace the terrorist.

Sounds crazy and if you are smart you ask why in the world would I do that??

First; we need to move beyond the concept of adversarial positions and seek to understand why they sought to do what they did.

Let's take a lesson from Israel's brain dead and immature policies (please forgive me, I mean no disrespect nor to defame immature people by lumping together the Israeli governments collective brain power and actions with immature people in general here), killing people does nothing to change an adversarial sentiment / feeling / belief / position, it actually strengthens it creating or evoking the opposite response desired or a person's claimed desire, witness the never ending battles between Israel and it's neighbors. In Israel's case, I think they know what they are doing and it's the land of their neighbors they covet.

Second; the Busheney administration let some "detainees" out and since we've found 1 in 7 returned to terrorism. Convenient for the Busheney cranial void to keep the threat of terrorism alive for their personal political ambitions and gain, but convenient because they could then use it in an attempt to "justify" the existence and ongoing use of Gitmo.

At the very least, it showed the vacuous Busheney cranial cavity was either negligent, incompetent or complicit to some degree in the perpetration of ongoing terrorist acts in the world. After all, they had complete control of every aspect of Gitmo and the "detainees" held there.

Third; assuming the impossible, that the Busheney "frain buck" (enjoy sorting that one out) wasn't attempting to manipulate American's perception by letting the terrorists out, the fact 1 in 7 "detainees" returned to "terrorism" is testimony to the reality the United States judicial system, the popularly held ideas and beliefs about it and it's effectiveness, it's purpose and relevance to society and humanity alike... IS WASHED UP, MISTAKEN, BROKEN and illustrates a profound misunderstanding and IGNORANCE of people, of self, of psychology, of constructive purpose, of direction, of usefulness, etc., etc., etc.

Fourth; it would behoove us to find out why they feel the way they do, why? and WHY? Our broken down system does little to ask that question because WHY?

Chenerific and friends were more interested in covering their own ASS (using what was known to produce false confessions linking Al Queda to Iraq) than seeking out the reasons WHY? If we asked why and learned something maybe, just maybe we'd realize we caused it and then could change our own actions to alleviate the threat. Maybe, we could learn something and have some understanding and then we could go to the middle east (or where ever) and be proactive at addressing the problems to make America and the world safer.

Maybe, maybe, our ambitions were the villain and that villain did not want to admit it's crimes. Maybe that villain feeling justified and intoxicated by it's own power to destroy didn't care about the consequences their actions had on other people or countries. Maybe, the manner in which the Busheney gang went about things REFLECTS the fact they were the perpetrators of terror under the guise of "defending America", and that every action was an attempt to justify or hide their intentions and aggression. It isn't hard to see.

Wasn't it largely about Iraq's OIL!?

As for Cheney carrying on, he can't give up the battling position he's grown accused to over the previous eight years. Someone tell him to go home.
