Mel Martinez: Possibly thinking about maybe asserting himself (but not too much)

Sen Mel Martinez (R-Fla) is joining fellow Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Joseph Biden (D-Del) in efforts to initiate a review the United States' enemy-combatant policy and ultimately close the Guantanamo prison.

Martinez boldly asserted: ``It's not very American, by the way, to be holding people indefinitely.

Well, by the way, no, it's egregiously un-American to hold people indefinitely.

But then his courage failed and Martinez waffled wildly: "Now they're like POWs, and the conflict is still ongoing, and typically you wouldn't release POWs until the end of the conflict."

So what exactly is Martinez committing himself to here?
