Kirk Lippold, one of the architects of Gitmo, is back, complaining that Obama has let a Gitmo detainee free. But, surprise surprise, in their quotations of Lippold, the press ignores Lippold’s significant ties to Gitmo policy, instead simply referring to him as the USS Cole Commander.

Commander Kirk Lippold only ever criticized the Bush Administration’s failure to bring the plotters of the Cole bombing to justice once. But all of a sudden, on the same day a Bush dead-ender tries to make it more difficult for Obama to close Gitmo, Lippold is out with accusations that Obama is politicizing the war on terror.
