Fox & Friends wrongly blames Obama for terror suspect’s release order

Read Time:25 Second

A March 23 Fox & Friends segment falsely suggested that a recent court ruling reportedly ordering the release of Guantánamo Bay detainee Mohamedou Ould Slahi is the result of President Obama’s decision to try some Guantánamo detainees in civilian court rather than military tribunals. In fact, the Obama administration has not charged Slahi in civilian or military court, and the Bush administration failed to try Slahi in a military commission after the prosecutor determined that the evidence against him was obtained through torture.

I knew the Bush policies would come around to bite us in the ass. I believe I wrote about this some years back. Confessions obtained by torture are not admissable and it doesn’t matter what court.

The majority of Fox and it commentators wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them upside the head. They get away with it.
