a proud day

The president orders the detention facilities at Guantanamo shut down, and bans torture. I am very proud that Obama is president and that I voted for him, and I am proud of America for electing him. Update: Here are the key executive orders - closing Guantanamo, ending enemy combatant status, banning torture, shutting down CIA black sites, and stopping extraordinary rendition, and providing an overall review of the entire detention policy process. Read them and rejoice.
