Bosaso [in Somalia], along with other remote prisons around the world, is one of the less well-known and least-understood aspects of the war on terror. When President Barack Obama came into office, he expanded the scope of Central Intelligence Agency and military-drone operations in the Islamic world, while also taking steps to end America’s role in detaining suspects captured overseas in that war. He shut the remaining CIA black site prisons in Europe, and handed over high-value Iraqi detainees to the Iraqi courts. Guantanamo Bay no longer takes new inmates, though it continues to house prisoners who haven’t yet been transferred to other countries.
Unwilling to confront the loons who believe Gitmo is a Nazi concentration camp, President Obama decided that his major response would be to kill terrorists with drones rather than take the heat for imprisoning captured jihadis.
But we can't kill them all, it seems. So Plan B is to just let them rot in other people's prisons where the jailers don't give a rip about the international Left's complaints.
I get so confused. Is this the "hope" or the "change" part?
It really is amazing what you can get away with when you are a super-liberal Democrat.
