Again, your opinions are great. So, too, are the talking-heads we hear/see on tv and radio 24-7.

But these opinions are merely opinions.

Our nation must return to basing decisions on constitutionality and legal precedent.

An American traitor makes decisions that compromise the constitutionality and legality of our country.

He did also mention in the very last 3 seconds of your clip....providing them their due process and something about international law.

He did also cite Cheney's belief that the justice department's ineffectiveness in handling these problems. Obama said in that clip he fundamentally disagrees with his assertion.

So what did he do?

He created a "Global Justice Initiative" that no longer calls on the CIA to handle international terrorism/detainee issues. It is now the FBI. Why the FBI? Because they can investigate, charge them with an actual crime, collect/present evidence, give them a trial, and convict them. BUT...they must be afforded their due process. Under the tenets of our legal/justice system, we are afforded Miranda rights so that we don't have to say anything to incriminate ourselves.

I'm confused why people are so bent about this Miranda rights issue. IT IS HOW WE ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO CHARGE/TRY/CONVICT these terrorists.

Why do we want them sitting in some foreign land prison indefinitely?

Boy, oh boy...at least those two US journalists now serving 12 years in a North Korean labor camp were given a trial. (Probably a rather one-sided trial sadly.)

Our detainees are sitting in a military prison camp until who knows when. No charges offered. No trials coordinated. No convictions.

It makes no sense. You want justice, right? Then we'll do it the American way.
