You may recall that on this site, I posted a piece a 9 months ago castigating New York Times reporter Elizabeth "you can't say the President is lying"...

Conservatives lare focusing on how often President Obama says the word 'terrorism.' Not on his actions. Not on his abilities. But word counting. This is where they want to take our national security debate.
We have failed to even investigate torturers, yet we have prosecuted and imprisoned millions for lesser offenses. And we allow mass murderers the ben...
Failed airline bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is yet another pawn in the terror war. Terror suspects take center stage not just in how they're pros...
In view of Cheney's willfully inaccurate partisan attacks, he deserves to now be held accountable for the Yemeni Al Qaeda terror sanctuary he helped populate.
In the past few days the message which has been repeatedly reinforced in the minds of people, both in America and abroad, is that this Administration is not capable of handling security.
Welcome back to my annual outright theft of The McLaughlin Group's awards categories for the past year in politics.
Preside over the biggest terrorist attack in American history and it's an epic win for President Bush. Preside over a failed attack and it's an epic fail for President Obama.
This reality is that every time the GOP clamors for torture -- every time they say we can't try terrorists in U.S. courts or detain them domestically -- they embolden al Qaeda.
It didn't take long for anti-terrorism hawks from Joe Lieberman to GOP congresspersons to dump the lax security, terrorist watch breach, and faulty al Qaeda intelligence on President Obama.
Congress is apparently going to give al Qaeda and other jihadists who want to kill Americans at least two more years of their most potent recruitment ...
Four Afghans recently transferred to the custody of the Afghan government demonstrate the incompetence of the Bush administration, who arbitrary packed Gitmo with "Mickey Mouse" prisoners.
Just when Barack Obama thought his toughest decisions were behind him--his Afghanistan strategy, tackling unemployment, what to say to Tiger Woods i...
The Obama administration is embracing the same malleable, elastic concept of a global "war on terror" that helped give rise to Guantánamo in the first place and that has no basis under the laws of war.
Disappointed and disaffected Democrats believe that the President of the United States should be a cross between the fairy godmother of Cinderella, an...
The release of two more men yet again demonstrates how hysterical and unsubstantiated are Republican claims that Guantánamo is full of hardcore terrorists.
As a naturalized citizen, I hold dual citizenships, and dual political points of view that see two presidents.
New Security Action released this video over the holidays as part of a concerted effort to call for the closing of the prison at Guantanamo Bay. Here are some facts about the prison at Guantanamo Bay:
The administration's reluctance to release Yemenis is based on the fear that detainees who were actually harmless in 2002 may have since actually been radicalized by their stay at Guantanamo.
What do you call a trial where the outcome is rigged from the inception? If you're a right-winger and obsessed with keeping Guantanamo Bay open, it's called a military commission.
When President Barack Obama spoke in Oslo he reiterated his pledge to close Guantanamo Bay. We stand solidly behind that statement and believe in the President's promise to make this a reality.
