| Detainees Can't Challenge Confinement (Golf Clap) |
| 2005-01-20 |
| Tip to Right Nation A federal judge threw out a lawsuit Wednesday by foreign-born terror suspects challenging their detention in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, ruling that last year's landmark Supreme Court ruling did not provide them the legal basis to win their freedom. Thank God, at least one Judge has some common sense! U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that Congress had authorized the president to order the detention of "enemy combatants" for the duration of the war on terror. He would be my NEXT appointment to the Supreme Court! Can I get an AMEN? Sonnet, who monitored the tribunals in Cuba last August, said the military procedures were inadequate. Not enough soft pillows and virgins for the detainees? "The military review tribunals are a sham," he said. "They don't give any detainee an effective right to contest conditions of his detention." I am crying BIG Barbara Boxer tears over them! |

| #1 "They don’t give any detainee an effective right to contest conditions of his detention." Still have their heads? Far better than detainees in Fallujah before Novemeber. Oh, and by the way, the war, per Senate Joint Resolution 23, passed in 2001 is on till Congress gets around to repealing it. Might be a while in detention. |
