Obama and Indefinite Detention

President Obama is considering issuing an executive order for the indefinite detention of some Guantanamo Bay prisoners.

Governing is far more difficult than campaigning, as Obama is finding out. It's much easier to blast policies of one's predecessor than to figure out how to deal with the problems such policies were designed to handle. Despite what many liberals choose to believe, we have some truly bad people locked up at Gitmo, just the sort of guys that fly airplanes into buildings, bomb train stations and shopping malls and shoot up elementary schools. Acting as though rehabilitation is desirable or even possible for such thugs is the height of naivete. And while an "indefinite detention" will certainly anger the far Left, I truly don't see what else the POTUS can do. Obama is a politician first and foremost, and he recognizes the possibility of a very short tenure should another 9/11 happen on his watch.
