Happy Gitmo Closing Day!

Which was supposed to have been by the one year anniversary of Obama’s inauguration. Only now it looks like it won’t be in the foreseeable future. Seems that President Feckless’ own commission decided that some people were not suitable to be tried in civilian courts, might not even be convicted by military tribunals, but should be held indefinitely in detention outside of CONUS. Which, when President BushMcChimpyHaliburtonHitler did it was criminal, but now isn’t.

President Obama’s Order to Close Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detention facility expired yesterday

From the executive order,

The detention facilities at Guantánamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order. If any individuals covered by this order remain in detention at Guantánamo at the time of closure of those detention facilities, they shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States.

Or not.

I'm a retired paramedic who formerly worked in a largish city in the Northeast corner of the U.S. In my post EMS life I provide Quality Improvement instruction and consulting under contract. I haven't really retired, I just don't work nights, holidays, or weekends.  I escaped the Northeast a couple of years ago and now live in Texas.  I'm more than just a little opinionated, but that comes with having been around the block more than once. You can email me at EMSArtifact@gmail.com After living most of my life (so far) in the northeast my lovely wife and I have moved to central Texas because we weren't comfortable in the northeast any longer. Life is full of twists and turns.
