By HELENE COOPER and DAVID JOHNSTON: "WASHINGTON — In ordering the federal government to acquire an Illinois prison to house terrorism suspects who are currently held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, President Obama on Tuesday took a major step toward shutting down the military detention facility that its detractors say had become a potent recruitment tool for Al Qaeda."
This simple paragraph belies the real Constitutional issue -- one the detainees are on American soil the Constitution rules! And it requires that the detainees be granted all the rights of anyone under our jurisdiction!
Will the GOP fight to violate American Law -- or will they push for it to be honored?
If it is honored the detainess finally get their day in court ...
If dishonored ... America dies as a moral and ethical force (if it ever was one)
