POPSWait, What? Cain Says He Could See Himself Emptying Gitmo in Trade for One POW Cain: "I Could See Myself" Freeing All Gitmo Prisoners For One American http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GBarE--GU98 http://bit.ly/nyzOgE http://www.allamericanblogger.com UPDATE - During tonight's debate, Cain said he wasn't sure how the question was originally phrased, and suggested Al Qaeda did not come up. After the debate, Anderson Cooper replayed the full exchange for him, and Cain disavowed his previous answer: "I misspoke." He said the posture he inadvertently advanced would represent negotiating with terrorists, which he opposes. He went on to say the original question went by too fast for him to properly internalize and answer. This is a relief, and it's nice to hear a politician say, "I was wrong." Still, these sorts of missteps are magnified when you're in the Big Leagues. by Guy Benson http://bit.ly/oDI6LL

Albert Melise that was signed by Alphonso Holt, a lieutenant colonel in the US Army reserves and the battalion commander of Melise's reserve unit. "I have reported your actions to the security manager and I am initiating a bar to re-enlist."
