So Obama is "closing" Gitmo. Except he isn't, really--just kicking the can down the road a year. And, incidentally, delaying a few trials that were in the works. Details. The devil is in the details. Funny that headline-type campaign promises don't work out in simple ways. I don't think a deadline was advisable--it weakens our hand when negotiating returns--but it will probably turn out to be a little elastic.
And no more waterboarding, either. Which hadn't been in use for a long time at last report, but never mind that.
The only thing I thought I knew for certain about Obama was his unwavering embrace of abortion, and unfortunately he didn't surprise me. So now we get to pay to kill babies around the world again--on purpose. There are no issues of "collateral damage" here; the killing is intentional.
