Obama Won’t End “Indefinite Detention” and No One’s Surprised but Progressives.

Jimmie | December 22, 2010 | Comments (2)

Remember when Candidate Obama swore he’d close Guantanamo Bay and make sure we treated those terrorists incarcerated there in a way that would “restore the standards of due process and the core constitutional values that have made this country great even in the midst of war, even in dealing with terrorism”? Yeah, well, so much [...]

Great Mysteries in the News (or, All Those Terrorists, and No Place to Try Them!)

Jimmie | January 29, 2010 | Comments (0)

Sometimes, when I read the news, I come across a story that asks a question so puzzling that I am, well, puzzled. Take this one, for instance. “White House orders Justice Department to look for other places to hold 9/11 terror trial” The White House ordered the Justice Department on Thursday night to consider other places [...]

Close Gitmo? What Would Ever Have Given You the Idea That Would Happen?

Jimmie | November 18, 2009 | Comments (1)

Well, you don’t say. President Obama directly acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay will not close by the January deadline he set, but he said he hoped to still achieve that goal sometime next year. Obama refused, however, to set a new deadline. In an interview in the [...]

So, Where is “Espionage Against America” in the ACLU’s Mission Statement?

Jimmie | August 21, 2009 | Comments (5)

I really, really hope it’s not true that the ACLU has hired people to take pictures of covert CIA agents and showing them to Gitmo detainees. This isn’t a case of photographers waiting outside Gitmo with huge telephoto lenses like a bunch of UFO hunters outside Area 51. In some cases, the ACLU’s people took [...]

Obama’s National Security Policy Reduced to a Shrug

Jimmie | May 9, 2009 | Comments (5)

I think this, from Debra Burlingame, is a very appropriate summation of the Obama administration’s thoughts on the war we’re fighting against the Islamists. Many family members pressed for Guantanamo to remain open and for the military commissions to go forward. Mr. Obama allowed that the detention center had been unfairly confused with Abu Ghraib, [...]

When the Left Gets Wind of This, They’re Going to Plotz!

President Obama’s Department of Unicorns and Rainbows have struck again! In just one month, they turned Chimpy McBushHitlerBurton’s amusement park of demonic sadism and sadistic torment we knew at Guantanamo Bay into a safe and humane place that complies with the Geneva Conventions. The man just keeps on tossing out miracles like a Mardi Gras [...]

Karl Rove Gets My Back on Gitmo

Jimmie | January 26, 2009 | Comments (0)

Remember when I said that I didn’t believe that President Obama would close our prison at Guantanamo Bay? Yeah, you thought I had lost my mind, didn’t you? You thought ol’ Jimmie had gone right around the bend. It’s okay. I knew vindication would come. My man Karl Rove (I feel somewhat okay calling him [...]

Why Guantanamo Bay Won’t Close Next Year.

Jimmie | January 23, 2009 | Comments (7)

Yesterday, President Obama signed an order to close Guantanamo Bay by this time next year. As you might expect, that brought cheers from the MSM and exasperation from the right. I’m not in either camp. In fact, I’m in my very own camp. I don’t think that Gitmo will close at all. I think that [...]
