THE MORE THINGS CHANGE....

THE MORE THINGS STAY THE SAME...
Over the weekend, and less than a week after Trump rescinded Obama's executive order to close Guantanamo, Trump fired the man who oversaw the military commissions. Harvey Rishikof was originally put forward to oversee the military commissions by Obama- and of course Trump couldn't have an Obama person in the job. But perhaps more importantly Rishikof also is responsible for doing a few things that made sense- and Trump does not like making sense either.
READ THE REST HERE.
For example,:
 "Rishikof also has recommended that the chief of the prison guard force build a new compound at Guantánamo for attorney-client meetings after Baker and others said the privileged conversations had been compromised."

Rishikof was also responsible for suspending the contempt of court sentence of the chief defense counsel, Marine Brig. Gen. John Baker.
