A Pentagon review ordered by President Barack Obama into conditions at Guantánamo Bay has concluded that prisoners are being treated in line with international standards demanded under the Geneva conventions, according to US officials.
Admiral Patrick Walsh, the vice-chief of naval operations who carried out the inquiry, is to hand over the 85-page report to Obama this weekend. Human rights groups said they feared the review ordered by Obama could turn out to be a whitewash.
The Pentagon report looked into various allegations of abuse. But Walsh’s report contains only two major recommendations for improving the prisoners’ lives: allowing them more opportunities to communicate with one another and to pray together.
Obama promised on the day of his inauguration to close the Guantánamo detention centre, which has become synonymous worldwide with human rights abuses, within a year. Since his announcement he has faced criticism, mainly from former members of the Bush administration, saying closure of the camp was not that easy. Walsh’s conclusions are basically the view espoused by the Pentagon over the last few years, which is that the international image of Guantánamo is based on the treatment and condition of prisoners when they first began to arrive seven years ago.

Why did no one bother to learn what Obama was really about.
I guess they’re going to learn now.

They never do. They vote for whoever has the biggest celebrity factor. They could care less about the issues. They have a narrow scope of issues that the TV presents, and they accept whatever the news caster says.
Anyone could have known what Obama was about just by looking at his voting record and political history.

my mom is not of the jewish persuasion, so i am not either. I have nothing better to do all day than to try and harm the Jewish people. Did you ever see their horns? My grandfather says I should grow out my hair and shave off my pointy beard, but I told him that the other people in my supremacist movement would have trouble recognizing me if I did that.he said that they would know me by my t-shirt with the s-w-a-s-ti-k-a on it, and I should get rid of that too. But I am very attached to my shirt, I never take it off. I need my bald head to help polish my n-a-zi belt buckles, and I need my pointy beard so my dog will kiss me (he doesn’t like a clean shaven face).

Yet another O’bama “CHANGE” that will stay the same. Folks, if you had been listening, he started to change his tune last April as soon as he had enough delegates to defeat Hillary. Why are we surprised. You don’t really thing the political establishment actually represents you or is on your side, do you?

“A Pentagon review ordered by President Barack Obama into conditions at Guantánamo Bay has concluded that prisoners are being treated in line with international standards demanded under the Geneva conventions, according to US officials.”
Really, now??!! Hmmm…isn’t that the same thing they said when Bush was in office? Well, I guess this means Obaa-a-a-a-a-ma doesn’t need to close it, then, right? Oops! Just called it wrong, folks! Now go back to bed.

Why not have the burglar union do an investigation into whether they are breaking any state or federal crimes too???
I am quite sure you would get the same result.
Boy,
The government put my all ready obvious believes to bed.
Investigate yourself and let me know if you think you have broken any crimes to punish you for??
I thought the U.N. was responsible for investigating violations of it’s own policies and treaties?
If what they did was legal..then why did they hide it and pass bills for immunity??
But now the government says it was all legal… I must be dead to think this is how I want to be treated if ever arrested for a crime.
A killer is a bad person, but if you have no rights and courts, you are no different than your enemy.

My gut instincts see OBama as a real sheeple— if they push him too far with ugly tryanny dictates he will break down and quit. You can see him aging already. He is waking up to the reality of the dark world he got himself into. This will not be an enjoyable ride for him. Eisenhower fooled everyone at the very last minute and got the word out as to what was going on that he knew was danger for us all. It can happen again.

So, he needs a convention to tell him whether habeas corpus is right, and simulated drowning is wrong…

Go and google “beheadings” and then make sure to watch one. I still am horrified. I figured they would do it with a sword, one swoop and its all over. No such thing. It was the most awful thing I have ever seen.
Waterboarding is no worse than what I did to my younger brothers. We live in a violent world, we have to protect ourselves. Go watch a beheading again if you can keep your breakfast down.
Now wake up, because that’s what they would do to YOU, if they only could. We are not torturing those prisoners all that bad. What are they doing to our guys?
