Bush Derangement Syndrome is back in force in France (but did it ever leave Europe's shores?), as Le Monde — which obviously has no idea of the contents of the Geneva Convention — describes the Guantánamo situation as a "judicial trap" (and "a pure illegality "concerning" that camp of shame ") ugly by lying, conniving, treacherous Officials of the Bush administration. World with Most readers Adding Their habitual hooey, of course this in turn means clustering That Barack Obama IS a purpose Poor Defenseless Victims of the evil Bush - As You Can See In The piece's title ( Barack Obama Caught in the Trap Guantanamo) and in very first sentence.

The legal trap set by the Bush administration, rooted in the ideology of the "war on terror" , closes in on the Obama Administration. In January 2011, the U.S. president should sign a presidential decree authorizing internment without trial and for an unlimited period of some detainees at the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
