Clinton Joins the "Close Gitmo" Chorus

And it all started with a fake story from Newsweek. This weekend Bill Clinton joined the bandwagon of people who said,

"[Guantanamo] either needs to be closed down or cleaned up." "It's time that there are no more stories coming out of there about people being abused."

I'm sure Bill knows about the freedom of the press - the U.S. can't prevent anyone from writing false stories as Newsweek had done to start the ridiculous torture claims.

Clinton also seems to have forgotten about his duties as commander-in-chief in wartime:

"I still don't think you can just hold these people forever," he said. "I think sooner or later you've got to move or let them go... it is just inimical to a free society."

Clinton forgets that even the Geneva protections allow enemies to be held until the conflict is over. Maybe Bill would allow the terrorists to share his house in Chappaqua with him and whoever else might be living there this week.
