9 of Justice Dept. Appointees Have Previously Represented or Advocated for Gitmo Detainees

The following was sent in by a TexasGOPVote fan regarding the article, "In-Justice! Furor over O's 'Gitmo' appointees," which discusses the disclosure that nine of Obama's Justice Department appointees have previously represented or advocated for Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Another example of a disturbing trend in the mid level appointments that are being made by Obama is found in this article. It is hard not to be concerned about the views of these people who are placed in positions that do not have to be confirmed by the Senate. They do not get the public scrutiny, but are in a position to make many policy decisions that have long lasting impact on government policy.
