Is Obama really on our side? ?

Did you hear about The Chief Military Judge James Pohl's denial to delay the trial of the Guantanamo detainee, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, accused of planning the 2000 attack on the USS Cole which killed 17 of our US service members and injured 50 others? Obama wants legal proceedings to be halted for 120 days so that a review can be conducted. To do this, the Pentagon will be forced to temporarily withdraw charges against Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri and probably 20 other detainees facing trial at Guantanamo Bay, including the mastermind behind 9/11--Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Anyway, I am so proud of Judge Pohl for denying Obama's order. Judge Pohl states that he "...found the government's arguments "unpersuasive" and that the case will go ahead because the public interest in a speedy trial will be harmed by the delay in the arraignment." Hussein Obama's administration thinks the "interests of justice" is going to be served by the delay. This, Obama thinks, will allow the government to review the 245 prisoners at Club Gitmo so he can figure out which ones should be prosecuted and which ones should be released. RELEASED?? I am so glad that there is someone with a backbone who is not afraid to stand up to this administration. Who's side is this administration on? The side of the American's? I am not quite sure. What do you think?
