By the authority vested in me...

I'm a bit disappointed that Mr. Obama chose to close Club Gitmo before conducting any sort of study to determine whether that course of action is really in the best interests of national security.

The most amusing part of the EO is the ostentatious expectation that Mr. Obama's magical diplomatic powers-of-persuasion will cause other nations to want to take the evil, derranged, and dangerous killers that currently populate Club Gitmo:

New diplomatic efforts may result in an appropriate disposition of a substantial number of individuals currently detained at Guantánamo.

Good luck with that. Personally, I like Rep. Bill Young's idea of sending the detainees to Alcatraz, right in the middle of Nancy Pelosi's district.
