With the stroke of a pen, President Obama signed an Executive Order to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay Cuba within one year. What exactly is to be done with the current inmates that occupy it has not yet been determined. Apparently, some of them could conceivably wind up in US prisons, given that other countries are not actually lining up to take some.
This looked to me like more of a campaign promise fulfilment rather than a carefully thought out plan. (I can remember a recent former president being strongly criticized for not thoroughly thinking out his attack of Iraq). It seems that Obama supporters are all for closing Gitmo, but cannot come up with an answer as to what to do with the terrorists held there. My friends, it's all a simple case of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
THE GOOD: Liberals see nothing but good in closing down this facility, as they are more concerned on how its' ruthless occupants are treated.
THE BAD: I strongly encourage anyone reading this to carefully look at the picture of the 911 mastermind below. Now, can anyone truthfully say they wouldn't mind having him live in their country, much less in their neighborhood?
THE UGLY: Just imagine these people being put into our justice system. Any loophole or technicality could return any of them to the street. Do we really want this?
It's bad enough that they want to kill us, so let's just simplify their goals by bringing them into our country! Bad decision Mr. President.
