I totally agree. All I'm saying is that what might seem like a popular decision from Obama could end up turning into a real media shit-storm for him. Those currently detained will likely have their cases thrown out by a proper US court, not necessarily because of their innocence but because proper procedures weren't followed while they were at GB (through no fault of Obama, of course). To quote, 'the administration will seek recommendations within the next six or seven months on how to try them.' Either way, images of suspected terrorists walking out of US courtrooms is only going to look bad for Obama when spun by the media into looking like the result of him softening up on the war on terror.
