#4 It is remarkable how many top ranked law firms and top ranked law profs are volunteering their time to represent and/or counsel the terrorist detainees.

#5 #4 LG, roll the clock back a very few years to when the market for Ivy League law school graduates was tight and the evil Boosh was president. Big Law Firm wants to hire an editor of the Hahvahd Law Review because that's basically their business model, and is willing to pay mega-bucks for the kid. The kid wants the mega-bucks but is conflicted about becoming a corporate tool. So he insists that in addition to the mega-bucks Big Law Firm agree to let him stick it to Boosh by representing innocent terrorists. Big Law Firm says yeah, kid whatever, just be sure to put in your 3,000 billable hours. Big Law Firm gets the "talent", kid gets the $175,000 a year starting salary and keeps his conscience clean by filing endless paperwork on behalf of poor, poor Mahmoud. It's a win-win, unless you count the people Mahmoud murdered.

#7 Our lads at GITMO may be something of a problem for the current regime. A select few have been released and have returned to their old careers in the Stans. Many of these chaps have been been tracked down and drone zapped. Purely conjecture, but it could be those remaining at GITMO may have told the Klingons to go fok off and keep the Pepsi, and fish and chips coming.

Wat to do with non-cooperative, double-agent flunk outs ?

#8 How about we implant a tracker under their skin, release them, and if they give us any trouble, drone zap them?

Or let it be known that a few of them have been released because they agreed to cooperate.

#10 Hey Ship. I'm a Lakefront yat. Try any of the restaurants on Harrison Ave. (for the food, that is, not the po-lice.)

#12 Of course you're simmering with frustration. You're in prison, you morons. It's supposed to be unpleasant. It's kinda sorta the whole point.
