U.S. Moves Five Yemeni Detainees From Guantánamo

The transfers came one day after several Republican senators proposed legislation that would place a moratorium on the release of most people held at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay.

Longnshort, here's an article from your neck of the woods. Bend over and grab your ankles for the Nanny State:

Parents investigated for neglect after letting kids walk home alone

Here's the best part of the article:
The Meitivs say that on Dec. 20, a CPS worker required Alexander to sign a safety plan pledging he would not leave his children unsupervised until the following Monday, when CPS would follow up. At first he refused, saying he needed to talk to a lawyer, his wife said, but changed his mind when he was told his children would be removed if he did not comply.
The state can force you to sign a pledge by threatening to take away your children if you don't comply.

If that happened to me, I'd be livid.
