Human Rights Activists Assail President Obama’s Decision on Military Commissions

Do you feel betrayed??? Do you feel like Obama lied to you??? Do you feel like Obama is just doing the same things Bush did??? You should because that is exactly what he is doing. I hope you really did not believe him when he made all of those promises to you, surley not.

I would propose that these activists and ACLU members be required to serve 2 years in the military. Maybe they would have a better concept of the people they are defending.

Bringing the terrorists to the US and then holding them indefinitely without rights is going to prove to be one the most stupid things Obama will ever do.

Isn’t condemnation from human rights and even worst, agree and continuing the policies of George W. Bush even most prodoganda for al-Qeada then some pictures?
Plus, how thick is the White House to ignore that nearly every major announcement they want to the public to focus on, detainee torture still continues to dominate the new cycle through the early months of this administration. Yet they just refused to get ahead of this story and think some town hall in Nowheresville will cover it up?

Those held under the protections of the Geneva Convention are subject to military tribunals and affording them a civil trial is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

As a McCain and Bush supporter, it is a pleasant surprise to see that Obama has at least a clue in this area and the wisdom to accept well proven policies, even though he campaigned against them. Too bad the idiot liberals don’t get it.

so activists..
Don’t beat yourself up over this..
(wait a minute.. you don’t allow beating)..

Obama will soon announce that the “military tribunals” are called something else. Obama doesn’t have a clue.He said he was ending the war in Iraq and bringing the soldiers home. Instead he is sending them to Afghanistan.

Did Anyone Really Believe Obama Was Differant?? Hope Not!

Military tribunals “properly constituted” is the key here. The original Bush proposal, which then Sen. Obama opposed, was struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. Obama has supported other versions proposed by the Congress which would pass muster by the SC.

Get a life, what does that mean??? “Other Versions”

A simple comment from Obama such as, “I was naive in my prior opinions regarding terrorists and our treatment of them…” might be helpful. Perhaps the world really is something scary. I at least think Obama is fearful at what could happen.

In one way.. I sympathize with the POTUS getting stuck with a bunch of bad stuff and leftovers..
.. in another way.. I believe the Democrats may have been saying.. just leave your mess.. we’re going to clean it up.. sort of like, a longer than usual lame duck period of time.. an acceptance of power loss on the part of the GOP.. maybe premature, maybe just realistic ..

The Far left Cant Handle Him, The Far right Cant Handle him, hes in the Middle thats Good thats what a Good President Does. thank you President Obama for taking us down the middle road and not to the Extreme Left like Bush went to the Extreme Right!

hmn:”But he was a Constitutional scholar, so he frankly has NO excuse for knwoingly and willfully choosing to at best ignore, and at worst avoid the rule of law in this matter and so many others.”
Military tribunals can be constitutional configured to fit quite well within the rule of law. Has his proposal failed any legal test?

Maybe Obama is starting to see the world can be a dangerous place where people will take advantage of you and kill you if given the chance, and not the world where you give hand outs to and forgive and forget the people who killed your loved ones. Sure the world is not all gloomy and dangerous, quite the opposite, but if you let your guard down, there are those who will take advantage.

Human Rights groups? Let’s park the terrorists next their office so they get a dose of reality and have their brains adjusted ( or removed as has been done in many cases). They can also have a demonstration of what real torture is first hand.

“… the real perpetrator of 9/11″
Which was–Afghanistan? How many Afghans were among the nineteen?
Or was it Pakistan, where Obama is now killing civilians with Predator assassination strikes?

* In a March 19 speech, Obama said: “Let me be clear: Ending this war is not going to be easy. There will be dangers involved—just as there would be dangers involved with staying indefinitely. We will have to make tactical adjustments, listening to our commanders on the ground, to ensure that our interests in a stable Iraq are met, and to make sure that our troops are secure.”
* During a March 2 Washington Post foreign policy “Q&A,” when asked what size his proposed “over-the-horizon” force in Iraq would be, Obama responded: “The precise size of the residual force will depend on consultations with our military commanders and will depend on the circumstances on the ground, including the willingness of the Iraqi government to move toward political accommodation.”
* During an interview on the February 5 edition of Fox News’ Fox & Friends, when asked, “[I]s there anything that would change your position about pulling out troops … if he [Gen. David Petraeus] convinces you that we’re on the right track?” Obama began his response by saying, “Well, what I’ve been very clear about is that I will always listen to commanders on the ground.”

Is it true that we actually beheaded some people, oh wait that was the terorists.

thank you President Obama for taking us down the middle road and not to the Extreme Left like Bush went to the Extreme Right!

Yeah that’s right. So what if President Obama is doing the same things President Bush did. When the latter did them it was “far right” but when the former does them it is “in the middle”.
Great job Angie!

This was entirely predictable. There are and were no other options. Obama was either flat out lying all along, or he was once again, too inexperienced and plainly stupid to understand that this was always the best solution to a difficult, modern problem.
In the past these folks may have simply been killed on the battlefield..
NOW Obama will posture and pretend that what he is doing is somehow different. That is what I believe is called a distinction without a difference.
He has a history of being abjectly stupid AND a liar.
Even today he makes speeches, like at his town hall yesterday where he proclaimed that we cannot continue this unsustainable debt.
HE CREATED 75% OF THE PROBLEM in just a few short months.
Even the democrats now call the porkulus bill the “EARMARK BILL” and they laugh and think it is funny that they put one over on all of us.
Obama is a self serving, power grabbing, CORRUPT, liar who needs to be in jail for all he has done to divert US assets into the pockets of his union and other supporters.

The problem with trying these cases in Federal Courts is that most of them would be thrown out due to lack of due process during the detainees’ period of detention. A military tribunal could at least make some of the charges stick. Perhaps the President was not aware of how badly these cases had been mismanaged!

Pam, I don’t expect much from this administration in regard to woman. Chief of Staff, David Axelrod, referred to Miss California as a dog. Granted, it was in a joke, but can you image the uproar had Bush’s chief of staff made the same remark.
The president frequently invokes his daughters as a reason that something should or shouldn’t be done.
Don’t expect him to rebuke Axelrod.

Also many of the reasons some of these detainees can’t just be thrown on the federal docket is because of how long they’ve been there and technically they only SAY death to america but haven’t actually DONE anything to advance that cause YET. But we suspect they will.
I just say like any other flips this administration has had to make because of the flawed ways the situation was handled in the previous administration, we’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.
The devil is in the details.
