[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2134736, member: 18914"] I believe I heard the President say that he wanted a way to keep non-State combatants (Al-Qaida, etc.) captured abroad in prison without affording normal criminal rights/trials - we have that in Guantanamo Bay. All he is doing is trying to find a way to dismantle Guantanamo without having to actually let prisoners go. Then he gets to be a hero to the left without suffering the obvious negative effects that his stated policy would produce. Now there is a separate but related and vitally important discussion going on about whether such methods can be applied to US citizens. However, the President didn't address that in this speech as far as I can tell. I think any US politician who thinks that such methods can be applied to US citizens should be removed from office at the next election. [/QUOTE]
