Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama announced Monday that the United States will resume using military commissions to prosecute alleged terrorists held at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility.
In the announcement, the president said his administration remains committed to closing the controversial detention facility but will rescind its previous suspension on bringing new charges before military commissions. The commissions are military proceedings rather than trials in civilian courts.

If there was change, then hope would no longer be audacious. So let me be clear: we remain committed to keeping hope alive.

Audacious or mendacious?

Well, at least he's consistent there. I mean, he's always opposed the legalization of marijuana.
