“Their assessment is negative.”

Steven Crowder takes you on a non-bleeding heart tour of Guantanamo Bay. No tears for jihadists here:

It’s Friday. The president is flying off to Asia. Congress is not in session.

From GOP Rep. Pete Hoekstra’s office, a demand for transparency from the Obama administration on its Gitmo relocation plans: [Hoekstra,] the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, used a rare, open hearing of a House Intelligence Subcommittee to highlight the fact that nine months to the day after President Barack Obama signed an Executive [...]

Attorney General Eric Holder’s old pals at Gitmo detainee-repping Covington & Burlington give this latest news two thumbs up.

The ACLU responded to my [...]

GOP Sen. Kit Bond voted to confirm crime-coddling Attorney General Eric Holder on February 2, 2009. Sen. Bond cluelessly explained that Holder was “a good listener.” As I reported at the time, 19 Bend Over Republicans joined the majority to install Holder as head of the Obama Justice Department. Let me refresh your memories: Alexander [...]

All wee-wee’d up.

What better way for the Left to show its true stripes than to share classified information and photos of undercover CIA officers with Gitmo detainees. But, hey, don’t you dare question their love of country. After all, endangering America is the ultimate form of dissent! We also now learn that the privacy zealots at the [...]

The Democrats in Washington don’t want to talk about Obama’s Gitmo release policies. But you do have a voice. Sen.

President Obama left the impression yesterday that Supermax prisons are ready, willing, and able to house Gitmo detainees. Supermax officials in Colorado say otherwise: Moving any large number of terror detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Colorado’s Supermax would require either shuffling current residents out of the Florence prison or expanding its capacity and resolving a [...]

Shorter Obama: I am against preventive detention (Bush’s), except when I am for it (mine). I am for transparency (“torture/”interrogation memos), except when I am against it (“torture/”interrogation photos). I am against the power to order enhanced interrogation techniques, except when I assume that power myself. I am against “extended re-litigation of the last eight [...]
