Obama Does the Right Thing (1)
Plans to Close Gitmo

This is huge.

Less than a week after the election, and more than two months before he takes office, Obama is already preparing to end one of the most important and most criminal policies of the Bush administration.

Prediction: many conservatives will fume.

But those who fume about this value their own sorry asses far more highly than they value the principles of the Constitution. The very minor threat posed by treating these prisoners justly cannot be allowed to wreck the moral foundations of this country. That's something they really need to have explained very clearly to them.
