CMDR Kirk Lippold USN - of USS Cole - to Obama: Keep Gitmo open. Functioning facility of keeping detainees off field & great for gathering intel info. Military commissions process worked. We do NOT need to be giving KSM & everyone else constitutional rights and privileges that our troops on the battlefield are dying to give Americans that right and privilege. The admin right now - you can't sit there and NOT call it a war on terror. They (our troops) deserve BETTER from this Commander in Chief. #tcot #terrorism #PoliticallyChallenged
