My reference to thousands of cases did not just refer to Guantnamo.

Add up all the prison facilities around the world and there are thousands of cases to be reviewed.

Akenaton, I have been looking deeper into a lot of these issues.

The statement about not charging torturers is being a little misconstrued. Obama does not want another episode like the one in Iraq where low level soldiers were hung out to dry by the Bush administration. He doesn't want the low level guy who is following orders, he wants the guys who gave the orders. The low level guys are not going to rat out their superiors if they are going to have to share a prison cell with them.

Yes, the CIA is still allowed to render prisoners to friendly countries, but under the executive order, that is not to include countries that torture.

All I have been trying to get across is GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE YOU SAY HE'S JUST LIKE THE LAST GUY!!!!!

Bush had 8 years of appointing and otherwise embedding his cronies into the system. It's going to take more than one month to get this, and all the other problems solved.

Writing letters is fine, but just writing to Obama is showing a lack of understanding as to how the system works. You should also include letters to your House Rep, and Senator, as well as members of the various committees who are involved with military and intelligence issues.
