It's no longer enemy combatants having habeus corpus suspensions, it's 'preventative detentions'.

of course it is, but i'm left to wonder now, how many Obama apologists will support this 'necessary' policy?

All of them.
And people in the "Party of Personal Responsibility and Individual Freedom", you know the one that constantly remembers talk of a Shining City and other things, will applaud the decision and point out again the similarity between he and Bush, as if it makes Bush 'better'.
I'll wait to see an actual policy proposal before I get too upset about this one.
But if the policy proposal sounds like what is described in the article, a system of indefinite detention without formal charges and due process protections, I'll be right out front with you jokers against it.

Okay, here's the deal as far as I understand it.
Obama maintains detention for Al Qaeda types by enforces he Congressional oversight that was al but erradicated for the last 8 years. Supposedly, this will be so we won't "detain" 500 some odd innocent people for years.

Congressional oversight as opposed the bullshit we've seen for the last 8 years....which resulted in all those torture pics.

The Shrub & company had control of all three branches of gov't...Congressional oversight wasn't their priority, as history has shown. And the 500 were kicked with no rhyme or reason.....with proper oversight and examination, they could have been spared years of interrogation and had their home lives spared. Yeah, we gain a lot of friends there.Your boys fucked up royally, and you're either too dumb or stubborn to acknowledge it, so you talk a lot of BS. Obama is dealing with the mess left behind...if he screws up, he'll be held accountable by people like me.
Somebody please translate.
Ah, better.
I still fail to see why closing GITMO improves anything. One can change policy, use congressional oversight, allow people to verify treatment, give legal trials, etc. all without closing GITMO. This is one expensive and unnecessary cosmetic change.
