Panel Recommends Keeping Some Gitmo Detainees Detained

FYI.

A recommendation by the Obama administration’s Guantanamo Detainee Review Task Force to continue holding nearly 50 detainees indefinitely without charges sparked fury among civil liberties groups Friday.

The recommendation, confirmed to CNN by two government sources not authorized to release the information, was completed by a task force under the direction of Attorney General Eric Holder and sent to President Obama for final approval.

The confidential review recommending a disposition for each of the 196 remaining Guantanamo detainees was first reported by the Washington Post.

The review proposes that 47 detainees be held without charges or trial because they are considered too dangerous to release, and because trials could jeopardize intelligence and harm national security, government sources said.

  1. How can this be?  Don’t all people deserve their civil rights and their day in a US Court?

    As usual, I’m shocked…just shocked.  Someone get me Cindy Sheehan on the phone.  No..get me Jane Fonda…..No…someone with REAL clout….Ban Ki Moon!

  2. Yeah - Bush just put those guys there because he was a bad evil person…

    Oh wait - the prisoners are the bad evil people. How can this be?

    dumbasses - assigning moral superiority to themselves without the sense to understand that yes, there really are bad people and all they want to do is kill Americans, for no other reason than they are Americans. No amount of talk, or apologies, or bowing to them is going to make one hill of beans.

  3. Oh what a tangled web we weave…trouble is that yes Bill I honestly think that what you said about Bush was what they believed. It is beyond many on the left to think that those that we have in gitmo are actually there by the grace of god because someone on the battlefield had the where with all to not pull the trigger…and if they did pull said trigger, no one that matters would have batted an eye.
