The leaked White House meeting to discuss whether to close it down was canceled, and the status quo continues. I’m sadly skeptical that Condi has any chance to balance out the vice-president on the question of illegal detention, rendition and torture. But I found this an interesting nugget:
Ms. Perino, the White House spokeswoman, noted today that the United States plans to release about 80 of the detainees soon. "America does not have any intention of being the world’s jailer," she said.
Now recall the position of the McCarthy-Levin-Malkin-Crittenden right. It is that everyone in there is the "worst of the worst". They’re all terrorists, according to Limbaugh and Romney. Romney’s position is that he wants to "double Gitmo." (Why, by the way, has the press not followed up by asking Mitt what on earth he means by that literally nonsensical piece of pandering?) So, according to Malkin, the president is about to release 80 murderous, guilty Jihadist terrorists into the world. Let’s see if Malkin even utters a squeak.
