There is no doubt about that. And after he spoke his rhetoric, required to placate his left flank, he looked at the picture, perhaps in full for the first time. He did try to find a solution involving allied countries, and found none. The reality set in that he did not want these people loose in this country either. So for the moment they will remain at Gtimo, yet sooner or later they will have to leave there, presumably before they require a box for transport.I am certain that Obama is working toward that end, but for the time being, with our troops in the field, and bullets and bombs still very much active, they will remain where they are. Even prisoners of war would so remain detained until they have a stable country to return to. The problem with these detainees is that they really have no parent country to return to. They are not regular soldiers under the command and control of a nation-state, and thus cannot be repatriated to such a nation-state. In North Dakota, and in many other places around the nation, risky sex offenders may be detained indefinitely in a psychiatric facility once their prison sentence is completed. No parole, no release, just extra judicial detention. These are American citizens, who have fulfilled their time in jail, and yet will not be released, with not judicial remedy open to them. Do I foresee the same for the Gitmo detainees? No, I really do not, yet it could happen that way. If they are a risk to release, then they are a risk to the entire world. Nobody else wants them. We will not release them into this country, nor can we put them ashore in any other country, except mayhap those places where we would rather they not be anyway. Obama will have his hands full with this crowd, for the moment letting the status quo is the only solution. The future of these terrorists will need to be decided later. LION suggests that it will end with a summary military tribunal, and execution as the situation may warrant. ROAR |
