    No, but there was a flip-flop there too.

    In early April 2009, news reports stated that Obama would support an independent investigation over the issue as long as it would be bipartisan.[176][177][178] On 23 April 2009, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stated that the administration had changed its position and now opposes such an idea.
    Took less than a month to reverse course on that one. Is there anything he hasn't flip-flopped on?

    So both candidates flip-flop - where does that leave you? With a crappy choice I guess. Is there any other alternative?

    If we look into waterboarding the former vice and his president goes to jail, (they are wanted in several countries already) and since you guys don't want them in those supermax jails then there is little choice but to leave Gitmo open. Congress had a lot to do with that!

    Oh? What are these countries where Bush and Cheney face charges? A demand to arrest them from Amnesty International doesn't count.
