"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Decision near to close Guantanamo - Yahoo! News

Decision near to close Guantanamo - Yahoo! News: "The advisers will consider a new proposal to shut the center and transfer detainees to one or more Defense Department facilities, including the maximum security military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, where they could face trial, said the officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing internal deliberations."

Hiding these people in other prisons will not change the illegality of their unchallengeable detentions. Perhaps they will render most of them out of the country to hide the humanitarian abuses from onlookers.
