Of Course

Look, perhaps I was being an asshole when I responded to the original report that Obama had decided to close Gitmo with skepticism. In fact, I remember specifically saying something incredibly cynical about how on the same day he decided to bomb Afghanistan.

BUT MY SKEPTICISM HAS BEEN PROVED WORTHY!!!

"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said closing the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, was a 'hasty decision,' in his daily press briefing with reporters."

WHAT? Hasty? You mean, you made that decision to differentiate yourself from your predecessor, but looking back you now realize that you can't possibly pretend to be that different? Or was it hasty because you actually don't care about 'universal human rights'? Or perhaps there is political and economic pressure to continue torturing and imprisoning people? Something you couldn't have foreseen?

I, for one, will continue to call bullshit on American politics and political figures.
