A willful blindness

Tribune Media Services

Barack Obama seems to be laboring under the considerable misimpression that this country is engaged not in a war but some kind of criminal investigation.

Sen. Obama maintains that we shouldn't be holding all those hundreds of detainees in military custody at Guantanamo, among them Khalid Sheik Mohammed, confessed coordinator of the 9/11 attack and murderer of American journalist Daniel Pearl.

What alternative did Sen. Obama propose? Take all the captured enemy combatants at Guantanamo, lawful and/or unlawful, including the hard-core ringleaders who have not only confessed but bragged about their atrocities, and turn them over to the criminal courts of the United States - with all the privileges, rights, appeals, delaying tactics, and general obfuscations appertaining thereto.

To quote this young man who would be president of the United States - and commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces:

"And, you know, let's take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks - for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center - we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated."

The only willfully blind in this country are the wingnuts and those who aid, abet, and love them.
