I didn't see where it said he was going to keep them at Gitmo.. and at that, it's not Gitmo people have a problem with, it's torture.
I'm sure some liberals will have a problem with this, but most wouldn't. He is making the system a bit more fair, not including proven false evidence taken from torture. That isn't to say, torture doesn't produce results to protect us, but to use it against a person - that's fucking insane for ANYONE...
If the 'right' like it or not, these people deserve trials... fair trials, with paid lawyers, paid for by Americans. We have the jails to house the most dangerous, separated, terrorists/extreme people in the world, these guys are no different.

Sheep - Is when Americans can be twisted to allow Torture because of something like Sept 11th.. If 'killing' people should 'allow' torture, then just about every Country in the world should be fucking Americans up every day of the week for the mass murders we have done in every war. And don't confuse 9/11 with terrorism, it's war..
