Closing Gitmo - Obama meeting with relatives

Found this quite interesting:

Seems the aunt of one of those killed in the towers was invited to meet with Obama while his brothers were not invited. The difference? The aunt thinks Gitmo should be closed due to torture and the brothers had attended court cases at Gitmo and feel those responsible should be prosecuted immediately.

Talk about "filling a dealt hand". Too much like the meeting with the press Obama had where the reporters were notified before hand that they could ask questions which included ultra-left wingers like the Huffington Post and other key pro-obama reporters and such.

The Obama administration will have to deal with Yemen first before it can start releasing detainees. Apparently in Yemen, you only need to sign a statement that you will not conduct terrorism against the Yemeni (sp) government and you are granted your freedom back. Nothing in the statement from what I understand binds them to not conducting terrorism against any other countries. The other problem is that Yemen's government lacks the ability to watch and control its people. So former terrorists or suspects are free to associate and roam as they please.

PR is more important to the Dem cause than anything and they know it. They used it to win the election, they use it to justify almost everything. Everything the media sees is orchestrated. The Dems paint a picture. It pretty much equates a lie by omission. Every time I think of this I'm reminded of the the movie "My Cousin Vinny" where the lawyer gives the analogy of the brick and the playing card. For those that haven't seen it it basically says, you can make a playing card look like a brick if you look at it from just the right angle, but if you start looking around you can tell it's not a brick at all.
