As Predicted Here, There's a Gitmo Deal
By Andrew Cochran
Big Surprise: As I predicted on June 29, two hours after the Supreme Court's Hamdan decision, and again on September 6, there's a deal to pass legislation enabling trials of the Gitmo terrorists. The lesson here is that if you stay in Washington long enough (e.g., 23 years), you'll see and take advantage of numerous situations just like this, in which the news media shouts "the President is defeated," when in fact the President who holds a majority or near-majority in Congress holds almost all the cards.
I wish football games were so easy to predict.
