Five detainees ordered released "forthwith" after seven years at Guantanamo

If the U.S. Congress had its way, these men would continue to be imprisoned despite there being no evidence of their guilt.

    It describes the republican mindset perfectly.

    I find myself wishing their roles were reversed...those voting for the MCA and the detainees so harmed by that act.

    These are not dems who voted yea but DINOs. McCain the most pathetic hypocrite of all...followed by Lieberman. And now dem leaders want to just "forget about it" and move forward with no accountability for this sadistic administration. Message for future leaders and presidents...they can do anything and get away with it...there is no fear of accountability.

    These leaders have bought a cloud of shame over America that only their punishment can even begin to rectify.
