Justice...ha not in this administration
The Perspective: President Barack Obama began overhauling U.S. treatment of terror suspects Thursday, signing orders to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, shut down secret overseas CIA prisons, review military war crimes trials and ban the harshest interrogation methods.
This is a complete misjudgement on the part of our new inexperienced President Barack Obama. Yesterday I agreed with two of the executive orders that President Obama signed. One, was freezing pay raises for anyone in his administration who currently makes over $100,000 USD. Two, he made accepting gifts or money from special interests and lobbyists illegal. This will help limit corruption in The White House.
But today is a different story. He signed an executive order beginning the closure of Guantanamo Bay detention center.
In case you don't know what Gitmo is, it's where we keep all of the world most dangerous terrorists that we've caught. Currently we have at least 250 people staying in Gitmo. The question...is what to do with these "people"(if you call them that, I don't)
We already know that their home nations don't want them, because they are terrorists. The majority of our state Governors don't want them in their states. This is because they don't want the threat of terrorism in their states.(makes sense if you ask me)
So what to do? Use money, that America doesn't have to build a new Gitmo type prison center to contain these men? Send them off to somewhere no one will find them? Kill them?(its an option yes) To me, none of these things are the answer. There is only one answer.
Keep it open.
Don't close one of the most secure locations in the world. These are the type of places you send madmen, who want to kill, rape and destroy the American and Western way of life. These are not people...these are terrorists. Terrorists who attacked America and attacked our allies. These men...need to die. To rot in prison, sure. To send them to death, sure why. Not. Eye for an eye I say.
I mean hell if we capture Usama bin Laden what do we do with him...

President Barack Obama
The Perspective: It has happened. It is official. We have sworn in the 44th President of The United States Of America. I have nonthing more to say about it. I'm happy that it has happened. While I don't agree with most of his issues and where he stands. Now, today none of that matters. Today is history. Today America the greatest nation in the world has put an African-American in The White House. Don't forget this day, because ladies and gentlemen, today we witnessed history.

Israel Out By Inauguration
By the time President-elect Barack Obama is inaugurated, Israel will have all of its troops out of the Gaza Strip, but only if Hamas militants hold their fire, Israeli officials said Monday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Perspective: Does this come to any surprise to you? It really shouldn't. We all know that we'll have a new President come January 20th, a President who has yet to show true support for Israel and their actions.
By removing all troops from Gaza Israel is sending a message to the outgoing President Bush. "Thanks. You supported us through all of our actions during your two terms. And for that we are grateful"
While at the same time, they are telling Mr. Obama this, "Mr.Obama we don't know if your going to support us. Even though you've promised to nuke anyone who uses a nuclear weapon against us, will you really do that? Will you support us when we decide to attack Iran? "
These are just a few things that Israel is asking itself. I for one am glad that the conflict is over. This will allow the government of Gaza to asses their loses and the damage done to their nation. As I mentioned earlier in the week, Gaza will never be the same. According to certain estimates that I've read and have received, it could take more than 5 years to rebuild Gaza. Hamas is no longer this "threatening" power that it was prior to the invasion. Israel has achieved their goals. For the better and the worse.
