So Bush says he wants to close Gitmo and is only waiting for the Supreme Court decision on whether the detainees will be tried using civilian courts or military tribunals.
I'm taking bets on whether that will actually happen. Anyone want to give it a shot?

The Village
is the few thousand people inside the Beltway who control the political life of the country; they are responsible for managing the Overton Window, for example. They are thoroughly bi-partisan. They all know each other, and they all fuck each other (both senses). The term "Village" (my term was Versailles on the Potomac) captures their provincialism, their pettiness, and how small (all senses) they really are. I believe Village is also the name of a horror movie that Digby had in mind.
