    Closing up shop.

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090121/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_guantanamo


    WASHINGTON – The Associated Press has learned that President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order Thursday to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center within a year and halt military trials of terror suspects held there.
    The executive order was one of three expected imminently on how to interrogate and prosecute al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign fighters believed to threaten the United States.
    A senior Obama aide said the president would sign the order on Thursday, fulfilling his campaign promise to shut down a facility that critics around the world say violates domestic and international detainee rights. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the event has not yet been announced.

          A great example of "too little, too late".

          Kind of like this whole presidency. It's all well and good if we pull out of the wars, strengthen the economy, and turn this mess around, but if we sink right back into the crapper in another decade after a moron president somehow just happens to get elected, it will be all for naught. There's no particular necessity for having ebbs and flows of that nature.
