Obama Plans Latest Gitmo Detainee Release

Obama Plans Latest Gitmo Detainee Release

As he Tangos towards the finish line of his Presidency, Barack H. Obama is rushing to fulfill one of his campaign promises. The closing of the the detainee facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba was a promise Mr. Obama made beginning in 2007. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane with then Senator Obama, shall we?

He sure seems to love using the term Habeas Corpus. Shows that he went to law school and reinforces the “false narrative” that Barack H. Obama was a Constitutional Law Professor or Scholar.

Jennifer Griffin and Fox News are reporting that the Pentagon has notified Congress that it is planning to release a dozen Gitmo detainees to at least two different countries. Groovy.

A U.S. official told Reuters the first transfers are expected in the next few days with others to occur in the coming weeks.

Pentagon spokesman Commander Gary Ross told Fox News he could not comment on when detainees would be transferred.

“The Administration is committed to reducing the detainee population and to closing the detention facility responsibly,” he said in a statement to Fox News.

One of the detainees to be released is Tariq Ba Odah, pictured above. Mr. Odah, according to the Center for Constitutional Rights, has been held at Gitmo since 2002. His only crime, once again, according to the Center for Constitutional Rights is being Yemeni. Oh, watch me cry big, fat fluffy tears for Tariq Ba Odah.
