On the campaign trail, Barack Obama pledged he would immediately move to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison. Nevermind that the place is home to 9-11 conspirators and people that want you and me dead just because of our nationality. Today Obama acted on his promise by issuing a 120-day halt to all trials, thereby delaying defendants’ right to a speedy trial.

Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll reveals that nearly half of Americans want Guantanamo Bay to remain open. Good to know so many Americans value our national security.
