Dr. Monica Crowley at the American Daily Review:
Early this morning, The Hill was still reporting that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was adamant that the president was holding firm on the decision to close Gitmo. By this afternoon, Gibbs was saying that perhaps it was, in fact, a “hasty decision.”
Meaning: The Bama didn’t think it through before he announced it. And meaning: there are vastly complex legal and security issues with which to contend. And meaning: most U.S. politicians don’t want the terrorists transferred to American soil. And meaning: our allies don’t want them either.
And meaning: Bush was right. Again.
And so was Cheney.
