Citizens For Legitimate Government 18 Nov 2009 http://www.legitgov.org Guantanamo won't close by January: Obama 18 Nov 2009 U.S. President Barack Obama has acknowledged that he will not be able to meet his pledge to close the controversial detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by January. One of Obama's first acts as president was to sign an executive order to close the facility within a year, a move he said would restore his country’s "moral high ground." But his plan ran into roadblocks... The U.S. Senate in May voted 90-6 against allowing funds requested to shut down the facility or use the funds to transfer prisoners to U.S. soil. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/11/18/obama-guantanamo.html 'This is our surge.'

"This is our surge," said Mayor Dennis Donohue, who solicited the assistance from the elite Naval Postgraduate School, 20 miles away in Monterey. "It's a little laboratory," said retired Col. Hy Rothstein, the former Army career officer in Special Forces who heads the team of 15 faculty members and students... "The idea was, not just Salinas," Ferrari said, "but is there a national model for this?" [The implementation of a 'national model' will give rise to an *actual* insurgency. And, if you want to know how all that will turn out, watch 'The Battle of Algiers.' --LRP] http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/14/AR2009111400915.html Fort Hood suspect's contacts probed 18 Nov 2009 US Attorney General Eric Holder has said he was disturbed to learn of contacts between Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan and a radical Muslim cleric in Yemen.
