    Trump’s Response to Guantánamo Challenge Exposes Legal and Logical Vacuum

    https://www.commondreams.org/newswir...logical-vacuum

    “The Trump administration’s position is typical of the logical and legal vacuum of Guantánamo. On one hand Trump’s lawyers argue the Periodic Review Board is an adequate protection from arbitrary detention, though not a single person has been cleared by the PRB since he took office. On the other hand, they argue the five men, including Abdul Latif Nasser and Towfiq Bihani, previously cleared for release by six federal agencies can continue to be detained forever. And in the latest example of Guantánamo nonsense, we are now told that detention at Guantánamo is not indefinite, but rather ‘indeterminate’, as if that somehow makes all the difference to the 31 men who remain locked up without charge or trial.
    More Trump the dictator style illogic.
    If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.

    So you agree that Obama was a dictator; given that he did the same thing?
