Hope and Change is sweeping through Guantanamo Bay:
In one of its first actions, the Obama administration instructed military prosecutors late Tuesday to seek a 120-day suspension of legal proceedings involving detainees at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- a clear break with the approach of the outgoing Bush administration.Army Col. Patrick Parrish promptly put one of the cases on hold Wednesday morning, and the disposition of several others is expected to become clear later in the day. Parrish is overseeing the trial of Omar Khadr, a Canadian accused of killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan when he was 15. Khadr's trial was about to begin, but the defense did not object to a delay until May 20 and Parrish issued the necessary order.
I have a great idea. Why don't we have all the Guantanamo murdering terrorist scum detainees shipped to D.C. and let them live at the White House? Surely being surrounded by such innocent, upstanding members of the human race could only serve to enhance the One's glory.

Maybe he's shutting down the process as a complete waste of time and money and will just order them all lined up and shot, as we're allowed to do to illegal combatants.
No? Damn.

I was gonna bug a certain husband of mine to toss together the widget, but he's up to his eyeballs in side projects right now.
I'm gonna use a phrase I hate - "We should discuss this offline" - because I've got a couple other things that should tie into it.
