Holder: 30 Gitmo Detainees Released
The United States has cleared 30 Guantanamo Bay detainees for release, according to Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder was in Germany as he tours Europe petitioning European leaders for help in relocating the detainees as President Obama prepares to shutter the prison. Holder also said that the Justice Department might cooperate with an investigation of Bush officials by a foreign government. “Obviously, we would look at any request that would come from a court in any country and see how and whether we should comply with it,” Holder said. “This is an administration that is determined to conduct itself by the rule of law and to the extent that we receive lawful requests from an appropriately created court, we would obviously respond to it.”

Welcome to America.
"Holder also said that the Justice Department might cooperate with an investigation of Bush officials by a foreign government"---WHAT??? A Foreign Government?...So the Attorney General of the United States of America will conspire to investigate elected/appointed and private citizens of the USA by a Foreign Country.
Need a little help here...Am I mis-reading this statement?
Wouldn't this be a violation of his Oath of Office?
He said MIGHT cooperate, and surely the emphasis should be on MIGHT and "see how and WHETHER we should comply with it" in other words, it's just feel-good rhetoric for a European audience as he begs them to take the Gitmo prisoners off America's hands. "Might" and "see how and whether" are Obama regime language for "Of course we won't comply but we want something from you so we won't say outright that no we won't let our fellow puppets of the elite be subject to any accountability, instead we will pretend to leave the door open to the possibility." Don't worry, your beloved war criminals will still get to have their mint juleps and massages living as free men in the lap of luxury the rest of their natural lives.
If the ones pulling the strings on American politics in the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and A.I.P.A.C. thought for even a moment that a President Obama would be anything other than their loyal stooge and continue to cover for their criminals then there would be no President Obama or Senator Obama, he'd be a no-name community organizer in Chicago nobody outside his community had heard of.
Torture is not the way to facilitate cooperation with other countries. The U.S. should focus more on soft power and increase the strategic foreign aid.
The Borgen Project has good info on the estimated cost of ending global poverty:
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget.
the reason nobody wants these people in their country is because they are ..........terrorist holder is a ......... idiot
