According to the Washington Post, the war on terror is over. That's right it has come to an end, or at least as defined by President Bush.
According to the Post:
Key components of the secret structure developed under Bush are being swept away: The military's Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility, where the rights of habeas corpus and due process had been denied detainees, will close, and the CIA is now prohibited from maintaining its own overseas prisons. And in a broad swipe at the Bush administration's lawyers, Obama nullified every legal order and opinion on interrogations issued by any lawyer in the executive branch after Sept. 11, 2001. It was a swift and sudden end to an era that was slowly drawing to a close anyway
But don't the headlines fool you, just today President Obama ordered attacks in Pakistan using missile carrying drones. This attack killed 20 people inside a tribal area in Pakistan. So...No matter what you want to call it, whether or not we take detainees, or if we have prisoners in Guantanamo Bay or in San Francisco, Pennsylvania, or anywhere else inside the United States....Make no mistake, the War on Terror continues.
