Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, said the episode demonstrates the problems with Mr. Obama\u2019s aversion to holding suspects at the center in Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are so afraid to use Gitmo that they are basically making decisions around not having to use Gitmo, rather than what\u2019s best for the country,\u201d Mr. Graham said in an interview with editors and reporters at The Washington Times. \u201cWhat\u2019s best for the nation is to treat these foreign fighters as enemy combatants.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently the prisoner, Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, gave up valuable intelligence concerning al Qaeda&#8217;s operations in Yemen, but the fact remains that his interrogation highlights the need for a place like Guantanamo &#8211; and the fact that this administration needs it if they want to continue fighting an unconventional enemy. Their only option at this pint is to try him on US soil since they&#8217;re so averse to imprisoning and trying him at Guantanamo. That&#8217;s something Representative Peter King wants to avoid; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe decision for discreetly bringing such an individual to U.S. soil is unclear,\u201d Mr. King said. \u201cUnless the Administration has extremely compelling reasons, I strongly believe Warsame belongs before a military commission at Guantanamo Bay rather than in a civilian court in Manhattan.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It must be hard for this administration to admit that George Bush&#8217;s Administration must&#8217;ve been on to something with Guantanamo. And Bush only got the idea from Clinton who imprisoned Haitian refugees at Guantanamo to avoid immigration complications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports that COB6&#8217;s favorite Senator Lindsey Graham has his fur ruffled because he &hellip; <a title=\"The non-Gitmo Gitmo\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25755\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The non-Gitmo Gitmo<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
