EU Justice Commissioner Jacques Barrot was probably right in calling this a symbolic act.  Basically, it is a “time out” pending Executive Review, which is when we shall see if substance measures up to symbol.  Still, it was a good way to begin a new Administration:

Wait a minute, “Such a request may not be automatically granted by military judges…”

Here is the out: Obama does the right thing, but is frustrated by those nasty military Judges. Never mind they are in Obama’s employ and under his command, so he can suspend the whole process by edict.

Or maybe those tricky Defense attorneys will not “agree to such a suspension…”  Imagine that, Obama trying and those bad boys just want to fry their own defendants in a kangaroo court.

Anyway, somehow a deal will be worked out that makes Obama do the right thing, but still leaves these phony confessions on the record and these men in another prison without any real trial.

Investigate 911.

Those who did torture should be tried under the USCMJ if they are on active duty; those civilians who did torture should be turned over the justice dept.
Form a panel of retired judges from both parties, along with constitutional scholars, We did this at Nuremburg and we did this to the Japanese after WWII.
IF we do nothing that will be a great blot which will grow like a cancer.

President Obama has-according to info-put many of “ole bullshits” HOLD OVERS on hold for now….Until some one with brains gets to take a good look at them….I am cautiously optimistic ....maybe things will get better…..
