There was a due process in place that Obama suspended. It was a result of Congressional laws (like the Military Commissions Act of 2006) and Supreme Court rulings. Currently we don't have a process in place. Though Obama seemed surprised when he signed the order closing Gitmo in a year that we don't now have a process to handle the detainees now: The central issue of Gitmo's closing was and is: What do we do with the dangerous inmates? President Bush kept it open primarily because his administration couldn't figure out an answer to that question. Thus, it was breathtaking that at the signing ceremony, President Obama didn't know how -- or even whether -- his executive order was dealing with this central quandary. President Obama: "And we then provide, uh, the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed, uh, no later than one year from now. We will be, uh. ... Is there a separate, uh, executive order, Greg, with respect to how we're going to dispose of the detainees? Is that, uh, written?" White House counsel Greg Craig: "We'll set up a process." To be at the signing ceremony and not know what he was ordering done with the terrorist inmates is a level of ignorance about equivalent to being a groom at the altar in a wedding ceremony and asking who it is you are marrying.</b.
