A former detainee at Gitmo has been named as the deputy leader of Al Qaeda in Yemen.

This is being touted as a reason why Obama should not close Gitmo: despite of course the fact that Said Ali al-Shihri was released into Saudi custody by the Bush administration.

If it didn't work for GWB....let's keep doing it because it still won't work for Obama. Brilliant thinking except.....evidently Obama's version of Gitmo can't afford to be as lenient as GWB's: I don't know how they come up with this sort of logic sometimes. But let me repeat....GWB's version of Gitmo couldn't stop Said Ali al-Shihri from becoming the Al Qaeda number 2 in Yemen.
What some folk really want is the involuntary internment of all Terrorists, Muslims, Darwinists,  Democrats, Palin-ridiculers, Perverts, anti-gun campaigners, and everyone from San Francisco: which is, as we know, Babylon-on-sea.

When folk draw stupid lines in the sand, calling it 'common sense'.....

It's called 'an underlying sense of optimism' and contributes marvellously to good humour. Following the love interest thread in your blog.....pretty certain you have a bounce in your step too.
