I'm still getting my head around this brain-fuck.
Obama is doing away with Judicial oversight of putting people in Custody after being charged with 'Terrorist' activities and leaving the length of Custody to be determined by those Agencies that sought Custody.
This has the odour of the 'Big lie' about it, make a proposal so outrageous and beyond the scope of usual understanding that nobody really believes it to be true and thus the Legislation passes without the full rigour of usual Public scrutiny.
Obama was playing a artful fake in this speech by drawing attention to the failings of Bush the younger, not normally done so that while the Audience was distracted by this breach of protocol he slips the 'Big lie' in and nobody really notices, except for Maddow.
She reminds me of the last Monks of the Christian early history, so close they came, by virtue of small numbers, to the extinction of a concept.
better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
