"Closed" is a state of mind
Guantanamo Bay virtually closed; only the Republican Congress prevented it from really being closed in the archaic sense of actually being still open. Wanting to do something is far more important than mundanely doing it.
Predator targeted assassinations
are as necessary and humane as three waterboarding incidents were not. I know that because Ivy League law deans are silent about, or have signed off on, the current targeted assassinations. After all, would you rather have water illegally poured down your throat, or legally be vaporized as if hit by lightning? We are not killing "terrorists" or "Islamists" in Waziristan; instead our "overseas contingency operations" are aimed at reminding Muslims that their own past contributions to science have led to breakthroughs like Hellfire missiles. -- Works and Days » Our Year 2 AB
