...but also, notice this:
"In the other actions, Obama: Created a task force that would have 30 days to recommend policies on handling terror suspects who are detained in the future. Specifically, the group would look at where those detainees should be housed since Guantanamo is closing."
The Gitmo detainees aren't all being released. Obama isn't trying to argue that they aren't a threat. Indeed, he said just last week that his administration of course won't be releasing those who seek "to blow us up."
This move is largely symbolic. Follow what happens to the 200-plus detainees from Gitmo. I wonder if ANY of them will be released. Don't be surprised if none of them are.
