Even MSNBC covered it. However, CBS did not even mention it. Their main story was schools are not signing up for Obama to speak at their commencement ceremonies. I wonder why?
Obama will never admit that Bush had it right, the Patriot Act was right, and the Military tribunals are right.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama approved on Monday the resumption of military trials for detainees at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, ending a two-year ban.
It was the latest acknowledgement that the detention facility Obama had vowed to shut down within a year of taking office would remain open for some time. Even while announcing a resumption of military commission trials, however, Obama reaffirmed his support for trying terror suspects in U.S. federal courts, which has met vehement resistance in Congress.
