Obama Goes To The Mattresses

The ugliness surrounding the pushing out of White House Counsel Gregory Craig was months in the making, but culminated on the day on which the White House announced that the Justice Department would be prosecuting Guantanamo prisoners on U.S. soil, the very project Craig was supposedly brought into the administration to bring about.

"[Craig's replacement Bauer] knows where all the bodies are buried, and this indicates that there is something amiss with this White House, or at least someone is nervous about what is going on," says a former Obama transition team adviser. "You don't just make these kinds of changes for the sake of rearranging the deck chairs, and not at this time with at least three legislative and policy decisions looming that the Counsel's office would have been deeply involved in."

It is truly frightening how few insiders in the Obama regime are respected outside of the inner circle. This blog documents the departure of two more Obama people, who though liberal themselves, have friends on the other side of the street. Their departure is especially interesting because of the huge opposition to the trials for some of the Islamo-fascists from Gitmo. These combatants so egregiously violated the Geneva convention they cannot be called prisoners of war, leaving them in a complex and uncommon status.

Does anyone really know what is going on with the American government and its handling of these evil people? Why are we trying them in a civil court?

They should be tried as spies in a military tribunal. They are not criminals like a local shop lifter. They are spies. The difference is obvious to anyone with even a modicum of legal experience no matter if their status is uncommon or not.

Those who hate America still want access to American courts with their protective granting of rights to the accused so that they can spew their propaganda. Why has Obama acquiesced in this idiocy?
