WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama, in a setback to hopes for the quick closing of the Guantanamo Bay prison, reluctantly signed a bill on Friday barring suspects held there from being brought to the United States for trial.

Making plain he would fight to repeal language in the law obstructing civilian U.S. trials for Guantanamo terrorism suspects, Obama said he was left with no choice but to sign the defense authorization act for fiscal 2011.

"Despite my strong objection to these provisions, which my administration has consistently opposed, I have signed this act because of the importance of authorizing appropriations for, among other things, our military activities in 2011," Obama said in a statement.

I thought that's exactly what Eric Holder wanted to do.

That's odd.

Friday night ? Man... talk about trying to do something under the radar. Hell, why not sign it at 3 in the morning ?

I don't know if this is an indictment of the American people, or just of their representatives.

Pisses me off, either way.
