Gibbs: Indefinite terrorist detentions regrettable

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says it's unfortunate that some terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay need to be held indefinitely without trial.

"Some would be tried in federal courts, as we've seen done in the past. Some would be tried in military commissions, likely spending the rest of their lives in a maximum-security prison that nobody, including terrorists, have ever escaped from. Some, regrettably, will have to be indefinitely detained," Gibbs said in an interview, describing Obama's beleaguered plan for closing Guantanamo, on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday.

Unfortunate?! NO! What's unfortunate is that your boss, the Obozo and the whole administration is a disgrace to this Country.
More and more, I think Obozo is a mooselim. Pathetic. :argh:
