NEW YORK — Just when it’s getting good down at Gitmo, the president is talking about closing it down. A Gitmo goodbye? After all that.  Salim Hamdan took his case all the way to the US Supreme Court three times. And this week Osama Bin Laden’s driver is now going to start his case Monday in one of those secret tribunals we’ve heard so much about. I guess President Bush is getting tired of the slap down from the courts — including the big one, the court that put him in power back in 2000. So it’s no surprise that he might want to change course. But here is a surprise. I don’t think they should close Gitmo. Not until they’ve got a plan in place. A plan for the hundreds of detainees who it now seems are not guilty of anything. And a plan to bring the few suspects who may be guilty of something to a court — not a secret tribunal. Trials in secret are un-American. And that’s the Last Word. –Jami Floyd, In Session anchor Filed under: Jami Floyd • Last Word |
