The ink isn't even dry yet on the President's orders to put the brakes on any tribunals in Gitmo and NY Times has already turned on its favorite son. An article this morning about a detainee from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba being released last year has now surfaced as being involved in the bombing of a U.S. Embassy (all embassies are considered American soil and are all guarded by U.S. Marines) in Yemen.
Now that our new President has ideas of shutting down this facility and putting the brakes on any future or current tribunals, he and the rest of the politicians need to know what they hell they are going to do with those detainees they are going to release (if they ever do get released). I'm certain the article is being eyeballed by the President at this very moment and can't be too happy that his "favorite" newspaper made it front page news. I'm certain cooler heads will prevail now that this has come out but what remains to be seen? We shall see.
