The details of an off-the-record human rights meeting at the White House are very revealing, and hopefully encouraging for the hyperbolic He's Bush! crowd.
According to an attendee, Obama expressed frustration with Congress' decision to remove funding for the closure of the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. The president declared that his hands were tied in some ways regarding the use of reformed military tribunals, though he pledged to try as many detainees as possible in Article III federal courts.
With regards to that, the AP is reporting:
A top al-Qaida suspect held at Guantanamo Bay will be sent to New York for trial, an Obama administration official said Wednesday, a major step in President Barack Obama's plan to close the detention center by early next year. Ahmed Ghailani would be the first Guantanamo detainee brought to the U.S. and the first to face trial in a civilian criminal court.
And finally...
Speaking to human rights officials on Wednesday, the president also left the door open for the future release of detainee abuse photos...
These are not the actions of someone who's "just like Bush" or any similar nonsense.
