Thought this was interesting how little attention this got in the news, and I'd say it's pretty significant since candidate Obama was all about shutting down Gitmo, issued an executive order putting an end to the trials, and then quietly restarts them and nobody seems to care. Where's the outrage from the left? I guess they're too busy boycotting Arizona.

It's all the Republicans fault.

I thought we were going to close Gitmo....what happened? NIMBY.

You realize the left elected someone to close gitmo right? You're assuming their feelings changed because he failed or because they're not posting everything you personally feel is newsworthy?

Obama tried to close Gitmo and Republicans blocked him, now you rightwingers blame Obama for not closing Gitmo. Man, Republicans have it good these days.

Waaaaahhhh, our majority failed, let's blame the other party for absolutely everything. Grow up. The Democrats are as bad as the Republicans; Obama promised anything he had to for election.

Wow Republicans must be more competent than I give them credit for, not sure how you can have a democratic president, democratic controlled senate and house, and still the republicans block them? That's amazing!

You would have to use liberal logic where up is down, left is right, and black is white. It makes a lot more sense when your argument doesn't have to adhere to reality.

That's amazing!

Even more so when the one party has filibuster-proof supermajority in the senate and a large majority in the house where there are no filibusters.

Now why did you have to go and do that? If you just stop at "Republicans did it", or "It's Boooosh's fault" everything is just peachy.
