Obama: Gitmo prisoners to be given “fetus” status

Obama in one bold stroke has come up with one cleaver loophole into which to thread both the Gitmo detainee dilemma he faces with his upcoming Supreme Court judge nomination bid. He should come out smelling like a rose… Genius as reported by Scott Ott / Scrappleface…

In an effort to shut down the U.S. Naval Detention Center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, thereby restoring America’s moral standing in the world, President Barack Obama today declared some 240 enemy combatants held at Gitmo to be ‘human fetuses’.

In an executive order, the president said, “Since I ordered Gitmo shut down, and people don’t want us to bring the inmates here, the only way to extract them from the facility is to change their legal status to one that offers us more choices.”

While accused terrorists have access to attorneys, and nearly-limitless legal appeals, a fetus has no legal standing, cannot speak for itself, and is subject to the death penalty without regard to guilt or innocence.

Civil rights advocates have pressured Obama to follow through on campaign promises to shutter Gitmo, but even Democrats in Congress have resisted bringing the inmates to U.S. soil for trials and incarceration.

“We can debate whether enemy combatants have access to protections under the U.S. Constitution,” said Obama. “However, no serious person would grant such protection to an embryo or fetus. The loss of 240 fetuses wouldn’t raise an eyebrow in a nation where more than 3,000 of them hit the Dumpster daily.”

The president noted that America’s global reputation has been devastated by U.S. treatment of terror suspects, but that “our treatment of a million fetuses each year earns us nothing but admiration, and requests for clinic-funding from those who aspire to be like us.”

Sources acknowledged continuing White House debate about whether a terrorist who escapes from Gitmo alive can still be treated as a fetus.

One of the best pieces of satire from Scott we have seen this year!  Just keep in mind, with Nancy Pelosi in a “spin cycle”, this story might seem more like fact than fiction, Especially when compared to the recent rantings eminating from the dizzy Speaker’s mouth as she tries to find a cleaver loophole of her own to filter through her CIA debacle.
