U.S. Decides to Release Detainee at Guantanamo

This article told about the Justice Department deciding to release a detainee from Guantanamo Bay. The detainee was a doctor in which the Bush administration had once claimed, had taken part in an anthrax program of Al Qaeda. The government had stop accusations pertaining to the anthrax claim, but continued to hold the doctor claiming he had ties and had met with Osama Bin Laden. The Obama administration decided to let him go, due to the detainee and representatives were preparing a federal hearing in a habeas corpus case, in which the detainee was challenging his imprisonment. The lawyer for the detainee said, "that under an agreement the court case could be reopened if his client objected to the conditions of his release." Also going on to say, "the meetings with Mr. Bin Laden had been chance encounters and that the Justice Department decision had vindicated his client. As a doctor, there was no basis under international law for the U.S. government to hold him."
OK Mr. Obama, first of all, why are we closing down Guantanamo Bay? I think that is ridiculous. Secondly, why is every terrorist that has been captured before, especially those from the Bush administration being released? If you have something against Bush, don't take it out on the rest of this Country, by turning all these people loose. They are in there for a reason. I am sure they weren't just picked out of the crowd. Obama has done some pretty stupid things since he has been in office. I'm not trying to knock Obama, everyone president has and will continue to do wrong, but the whole "We Can Change" or whatever it was, doesn't mean lets turn a bunch of terrorist out and shut down the prison. Get Real!
