CHANGE! Obama Sends Terrifying Messages to Enemies
As in, if you're a terrorist, you've got a friend in the White House who will see to it that you've got the same Constitutionally protected rights that any US citizen would have, and that you're not treated too unkindly if we ever get hold you. So Love Us!
A senior Obama administration official said the president would sign an order Thursday to shutter the Guantanamo prison within one year. The U.S. naval facility has been a major sore point for critics around the world who say it violates domestic and international detainee rights. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the order has not yet been issued.The executive order was one of three expected on how to interrogate and prosecute al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign fighters believed to threaten the United States. The administration already has suspended trials for terrorist suspects at Guantanamo for 120 days pending a review of the military tribunals.
Obama also had in hand executive orders to review military trials of terror suspects and end harsh interrogations, a key part of aides' plans that had been assembled even before Obama won the election on Nov. 4.
I'm sure enemies of the US are looking at this and just sh*tting themselves with fear.
