44. I am concerned......
The OP makes an eloquent case for concern. While we "wait" to see what will happen, I must ask , do you not think that these "detainees" might be as dangerous as Obama says?

If they are what do you propose?

While I am a proponent of the Rule of Law , are we not in unchartered waters? My take on this is while it is indeed a slippery slope, the undoing of the Patriot Act, Millitary Act, etc, which, in effect, has shattered any semblence of Habeus Corpus, Rule of Law, BIll of Rights, which he voted for, hasn't occured.

Should we not start there or work within the framework of the new normal? This seems like so much posturing over something that is a done deal. Now it is being spoon fed to the public.
Excellent OP , btw.

Oh, and FWIW, I never make sarcastic posts(concerning other thread), not creative enough.n/t
