Apparently the problem wasn't the constitutional violations or kicking the legs out under the Western world's first baby steps towards civilization, but that it was done too informally. If you're going to trip a toddler, it is proper to do so in triplicate. "Obama creates indefinite detention system for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay":
Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the order vindicated Obama's predecessor. "I commend the Obama Administration for issuing this Executive Order," he said in a statement. "The bottom line is that it affirms the Bush Administration policy that our government has the right to detain dangerous terrorists until the cessation of hostilities."
He's even got Republican congressmen issuing statements asserting that governments have rights. Gotta respect the crown, bitches.

This is so undemocratic. It’s indicative of where we are moving if we don’t stop this completely out of control military industrial complex. It will destroy itself if we don’t rein it in first.
