"The detainees who are ''too dangerous to release'' yet have ''insurmountable obstacles'' to prosecuting them in federal court"

These insurmountable obstacles.....would this have something to do with lack of admissible evidence to convict under the standards of American justice in a civilian court of law?

"At issue may be detainees from whom confessions were gleaned through brutal interrogations."

Now this could be a problem with regard to obtaining convictions under American legal standards. What do we do with murderers, drug dealers, rapists, child molesters, corporate con artists, etc. when we lack the evidence to convict? They walk.. (I need Bill from Saginaw to help me out with this one)

Save us the bullshit about "rules of law" and "anything" about upholding the Constitution Mr. Attorney General. You say that waterboarding is torture--well then, our government authorized torture, then had its lackeys carry out the order. Like your superior in the White House who's great at "talking" about justice, how about "showing" the world some.

Those goofs who run the U.S. government make lots of prisoner transfers every day. All they have to do is load all the prisoners in Guantanamo into a boat and they could have them in the 'Dome in New Orleans this afternoon.

If those morons would ever do what's right then they could also have all of their military out of Cuba in three month, and they better take all of their mines and booby-traps with them. And make sure they flush the toilet before they take that last look around.

Holder is either severely misinformed or one of the bad guys, on this issue. I still think his initial post-Obama swearing-in appearance before Congress was very impressive. I prefer to think he is misinformed and will wake up in time, he seems like a good man(did he also keep the bush minions to give him advice?).

The facts are that the 9/11 event was entirely orchestrated to give power to the Bush cabal to steal from our treasury and shred our Constitution. The techniques used in Guantanamo were specifically designed to solicit false confessions which would then be used as part of the massive effort to cover up the 9/11 orchestration. Just like Hitler's burning of the Reichstag 9/11 was such a big horrendous event so many would find it preferable to fall for the lie of the Bush administration regardless of how implausible it was from a scientific standpoint : "the terrorists did it", whereas Hitler blamed "the Communists." Hitler burned down the Reichstag and Bush and his cohorts orchestrated the timed explosives that actually brought down the towers.

We must change the rules radically to save our country

We can make vastly more money by doing good for our country, at the end of the day. Building new alternative clean and natural energy sources and getting off of oil will, in itself, supercharge our economy. We don't make money we lose money by wasting it on the defense crooks(believe me I am in favor of a strong defense and well compensated military personnel but that is not what happens we get crap and the men and women serving us get the shaft.) We need to change the rules of the USA: you do good for our country, the environment and the general welfare of our fellow brothers and sisters and you can make a good living but today the rules are if you work to destroy the environment and the interests of the USA you can make a fortune. That is how sick things have become.

We need Obama and his administration to be brave and radical to break us free of all of this and we can only do it together. So far there has been too much essential betrayal of what I worked for to get Obama into office for me to do anything but sit in dismay.

They have no intention of closing it.

Never did have.

Nor will they complete any other promise made to get elected by a bunch of suckers.

Gitmo the Hole will be filled in. But it will take HOW long? All the prisoners should be transferred Instantly, Yesterday, to a MILITARY HOSPITAL on the mainlaind where their injuries are treated. The captives should remain in this 1/2way humane facility and be accorded all amenities and access until Quick adjudication of their cases. Generous Reparations paid to the innocent and All tortured.

While Nothing could atone the horrors the US inflicted, this would alleviate some pain now, empty out the House of Horrors, and be important to the world. What would be the downside?

For all of the fuss about the 270 prisoners left at Girmo, does anybody
know what basis they used to free 500 quietly when there were 770 back in the fall? If they were all innocent, why did they have to stay for six years, and if they were guilty why were they freed?

"The detainees who are ''too dangerous to release'' yet have ''insurmountable obstacles'' to prosecuting them in federal court."

I thought that the people who were in the previous administration were not yet locked up ?
