Obama Drafting Executive Order on Indefinite Detention of Terrorism Suspects

Image...
The Obama administration, fearing a battle with Congress that could stall plans to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, is drafting an executive order that would reassert presidential authority to incarcerate terrorism suspects indefinitely, according to three senior government officials with knowledge of White House deliberations.

    For all of those who enjoy calling Obama a fascist, now's your chance to actually have that assertion justified.

    I wonder who they consider a terrorist.....besides the obvious I mean.
    Welcome to a summer filled with fun and reeducation, welcome to the Camp Fema.
    Oh and obama is a fascist, just thought I would throw that in there.

    Now I wonder what made him change his mind?

    Change his mind??? Did you even check out his voting record from when he was in congress?? There was no change in his mind. The only change he was speaking of was only what he led to to assume......

    My favorite part of all these threads is Ihatethemall's responses to them.

    It's like a really poor version of Doonesbury comics :).

    Oh-Sham-ah!

    Said he was gonna bring troops home, sent them to afghanistan... check.

    Said he was gonna fix health care, closed door meetings with health care industry.... check.

    Said he was gonna cut pork and spending, propping up greedy banks with stimulus.... check

    Said he was gonna shut down terrorist farming (paraphrasing), new executive order?....

    My inlaws hate him for bringin socialism to america...

    I hate him for pretending to bring us important facets of socialism (just the safety net stuff, healthcare, education etc..)

    I am truly dissillusioned, America is so screwed.

    Prijedor, its so much more than that.... the definition of terrorist is so vague, even people who organize peaceful protests are being labeled as terrorists..... The PAtriot act itself states that any person or group that wants to effect change in govt policies and actions are considered terrorist suspects.....

    ;Person that wants to effect change in govt policy'

    Like politicians and lobbyists?

    Gotta love that patriot act, brought to you by the makers of the patriot missile.

    Ihatethemall,

    Every single person who has served in the military, public office, and as police, can all be considered terrorists. Religious people can be considered terrorists. Environmentalists can be considered terrorists. Super Patriots can be considered terrorists.

    The list goes on and on....

    It seems if Obama gets his way, he'll be able to prolong detent anyone he wishes...

    Welcome fascism, goodbye the republic for which the flag stood...

    Obama said what he had to say to get elected. Since then he has reversed himself on virtually everything. He is an anti American huckster.

    No wonder he didn't want Bush impeached. He didn't want to be held accountable for continuing his policies.

    Reading this has made me so angry.

    If this is true then....

    Seriously I'm speechless. I feel sorry for americans because their chance to break free from being the most despised people on the planet will be over.

    Enjoy be hated.

    See, this is why no one takes you leftists seriously. You would follow the man into a burning plane if he told you he could fly it anyway. Now look at you. All abandoning ship because you realize the plane is on fire and he can't fix it. All of you should go back and look at every post you have ever made burning Fox News, John McCain, Republicans, and anti-Obama threads and realize how stupid you look now. "Oh, you're wrong because he said so" was usually your arguement. Welcome to heartbreak.

    maybes its because the democrats and the republicans are the same party..
    I think we've been putting too much faith in our "experiment", and I think its time for a reset.....
