New York Times: Obama May Not Close Gitmo
The New York Times has a story noting that Barack Obama is reconsidering the closing of Gitmo, the terrorist holding camp at
Guantamo Bay, Cuba.
Liberals have screamed about the inhumanity of this camp, demanding President Bush close it at any cost. Along these same lines they were proponents of putting the terrorist suspects in the American legal system. During the campaign Obama noted he would close the camp; now noting sources close to the Obama camp, the Times is saying Obama may not close the camp; stunning.
After using this issue as one to rip the nation in two, the Democrats are now backing away from it. Of course they are because if you close the camp and toss the detainees into the legal system 99 percent will be freed, because of violations and/or lack of evidence. The next issue to crush the lefties will be
Iraq, where Obama will do nothing more than withdrawing a few showcase troops.
The other evolving issue is the reports of John McCain already reaching out to Obama. We warned conservatives that McCain would governor from the center/left and they were selling their souls supporting him. Now, we are seeing more evidence as he and Lindsay Graham are speaking off crossing the aisle, at the cost of conservative principals; that is how it always works with liberals.
It is funny how people are focused on the magical 60 Senate seat number; folks the Democrats already have a filibuster proof Senate. Does anyone really belief Graham, McCain, Olivia Snowe and others will filibuster any critical piece of legislation based on principal?

I heard he was going to open a new camp for “potential terrorists”, guess the thought police will have to be brought in to examine these critters.
