An executive order, signed by the President on Monday, legalizes the permanent detention of Gitmo prisoners who are classified a significant threat to the U.S.
The order basically insures Gitmo will never close and many of the accused will never get a fair trial.
Even though the Obama Administration says each detainee's case will be reviewed within a year's time; the decision to hold a detainee indefinitely, will based on so-called intelligence reports, not hard evidence.
With every stroke of his presidential pen, Obama looks more like Bush everyday.

"Hope" "Yes we can" "Change"....while I voted for these things, seems we're getting a "Bush" in disguise. If these prisoners are indeed terrorists, than give them a trial now. They've been in prison long enough. Either try them or set them free.
"Promises Promises"
Exactly!!! They aren't going to give them a court trial, because they don't have hard evidence. So, to get around the law, they have created a new law to keep them in prison indefinitely, without sufficient proof. And how much is this costing the taxpayers?
Obama is a big fat disappointment.
Coming from the Chicago Daley Democratic Machine, I expected nothing from Obama. Look at the man-no birth certificate and no college degree. Doesn't that say something?
Out of a six year US Senate term, Obama barely served three years. I say "barely", because Year 1 was mostly voting "present", Year 2 was mostly the book tour and Year 3 was mostly the presidential run.
