| Federal Judge Orders Release of Gitmo Prisoner |
| 2009-08-22 |
| She held that the man's brief stint at an Al Qaeda training camp and two encounters with Osama Bin Laden were not enough to justify his confinement. Since when is it her call? In another Gitmo case, U.S. District Judge James Robertson ruled the government may continue to detain Adham Mohammed Ali Awad, also a Yemeni. The government alleged that the 27-year-old had trained with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and was badly injured in an air strike. Though the nature of the injury was redacted in Robertson's opinion, other public military records say that Awad lost a leg in the bombing. He and other fighters barricaded themselves in a hospital. The others fought to the death, but Awad was left behind because he was too badly injured, the government alleged. Though Robertson ruled that the government had met its burden in the case, the judge was less than impressed. "The case against Awad is gossamer thin," he wrote. I am less than impressed with these judges |
