Charges dropped against Hamdan; chief defense attorney, a Marine colonel: 'A system of justice that does not comport with American values'
This got about 10 seconds on the news tonight.
Charges dropped against Gitmo detainees.
Why can we not get this right?
"Total disregard for honor and integrity in the presidency and the Republican Congress that wrote the faulty law, ER?"
Oh, besides that, I mean.

Not that the Dem-led Congress is turning out to be that much better inegritywise, I hasten to add, sadly.
We can't get it right because it is wrong and wrong can't be made right when it is outside of any viable system of law. When you fix a lie with a lie it does not become a truth.
Oh yeah, the ole "Bush lied" angle.
From the article, it seems things are being shut down over semantics. That does not comport with anything to which I'd prefer to be associated. But that's what happens when a country becomes too concerned for the rights of the evil over the lives of the innocent.

Would you like to see a loved one die over it? Especially one so lame as this? None for me, thank you.
But they were obviously hastily written laws that were intended to address a new type of foe. These trials do not need to be rushed. Speedy trials are our benchmark, but sloppy trials aren't. If we aren't ready to try these people, and we really shouldn't bother until the war is over, then we shouldn't go to trial.
