This Morning, in the past hour President Obama signed The Orders that state that GITMO and other Secret Prisons ( black prisons) will close within the year. The orders also END harsh Interrogation Techniques and restore and acknowledge the Geneva Conventions ( In the Post below I have linked the draft, and I will also link it to the title here). In the Draft it reinstitutes proper trials and Habeus Corpus. I will post more as it becomes available.
