| Another Clinton Appointed Fed Judge Screws the Pooch |
| 2006-02-24 |
| A US federal judge ordered the Pentagon on Thursday to release the identities of hundreds of detainees at Guantanamo Bay to The Associated Press, a move which would force the government to break its secrecy and reveal the most comprehensive list yet of those who have been imprisoned there. Some of the hundreds of detainees in the war on terror being held at the US military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been held as long as four years. Only a handful have been officially identified. US District Judge Jed S Rakoff in New York ordered the US Defence Department to release uncensored transcripts of detainee hearings, which contain the names of detainees in custody and those who have been held and later released. Previously released documents have had identities and other details blacked out. The judge ordered the government to hand over the documents by March 3 after the Defence Department said Wednesday it would not appeal his earlier ruling in the lawsuit filed by the AP. On January 23, Rakoff ordered the military to turn over uncensored copies of transcripts and other documents from 317 military hearings for detainees at the prison camp. There were another 241 detainees who refused to participate in the Combatant Status Review Tribunals and the Defense Department said no transcripts exist of those hearings. |

| #14 The Left > America, "Fascist" Amerika, Dubya, and Cheney, etal. to come = LIKE AEROSMITH'S SONG "GOTTA TAKE 'EM DOWN EASY". Russia-China contain or restrain America's foreign policies -milactions overseas; while domestically the Dems induce Washington to take over everything and anything, i.e. to Subsidize, Martialize, Militarize, Bureaucratize, Centralize, Welfarize, Statutize/Legalize, Nationalize................ ......@Socialize and Stalinize unto infinitum. The Left > FASCISM = DE-REGULATED COMMUNISM, COMMUNIST CAPITALISM, etal.SOCIALISM. |

| #13 The Dems, espec their national Leadership, "get it" - the question is do GOP-Conservatives get it? The WOT for the Left is about getting the Right to save and justify their -ism for the Left, and to force knowingly Failed Socialism, includ Communism, and OWG upon an unsuspecting population. When it comes to electing a Dem POTUS in 2008 and beyond, Dubya and GOP'ers are ADOLF HITLERS whom need to be wiped out, NOT just merely defeated in elec years; when it come to unducing America to dev new Global Empire and spreading [anti-American] Amer "Liberalism"/ Socialism around the world, Dubya-GOP are mere unruly, active-agressive, incompetent Male Brute LIMITED SOCIALISTS/COMMUNISTS whom need PERFECTOID/PERFECTNIK/PERFECT-ISTA MOTHERLY COMMIES AND REGULATORY/TOTALITARIAN CENTRALISTS TO TEACH THEM THE WAYS OF STALINISM AND MARXTOPIANISM, or in the alt to "spank" GOP-Conservative Rightist Bad Boyz by exterminating them. The Lefties are RINOS, etc. for a reason, and that reason is, ultimately, to kill you, yours, and free America as we Americans know it. The DemoLefties prob is not alleged "Fascist' SOCIALIST America waging war - its Fascist-Rightist America winning the war and COMMUNIST SOCIALIST AMERIKA, i.e. weak Amerikan SSR/USR/USSA under OWG, NOT BEING THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE WOT AND AMER'S FIGHT FOR "RIGHTEOUS" EMPIRE IN RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION AFTER 9-11. The DemoLefties are waiting for American Hiroshima(s) and Anti-American Global=Geopol "BRINKMANSHIP" to "justify" Americans losing control of their own Govt., their own Country, and to PC wipe out Bush, wipe out the GOP, and wipe out any anti-Clinton, anti-Left fractions of the NPE. Rest assured the Commie AIrborne will be here in America only to "help" America and America's "surviving leadership" whom hath suffered greatly under Male Brute, warmongering GOP-Rightism whom brought America to the brink of nuclear war and national destruction. ONLY A MOTHER(S) AND OWG CAN "SAVE" ALL MEN AND MALE BRUTE AMERICANS FROM THEMSELVES [theme from DRAGNET/WHITE RABBIT] - what more proof does anyone need of INCOMPETENT AMERICA, INCOMPETENT AMERICANISM, and INCOMPETENT AMER FASCISM/FASCIST SOCIALISM than VPOTUS "Dickie's Got a Gun... Whole World come Undone" CHENEY shooting his family's own friend ala QUAIL/ TWEETIE-GATE, by "accident"??? The world must be saved from America, so that Butterflies, Quails, and Bad Ole'Puddy Tats, etc, ... and nay the SUN ITSELF, might live. |

| #12 Actually, the IRC does know. They have observers on site. However, they've agreed to abide by the rules which limits transmission of detailed information. So I doubt that anyone is 'disappearing' as in Cuba proper, N.Korea, Iran, etc. So what's the reason for this action? Congress has long ago gone AWOL on its responsibility of oversight of the judiciary, particularly since some members of that branch now actively believe they are indeed the new Princes, Barons, and Dukes to rule America. They're back! |

| #11 This is stupid. If the military doesn't want the unfound camel jockies to know that Abdulla what's his name is in Cuba, then the judge is doing nothing but helping our islamic enemies. I'm willing to bet the moron was offended by the Muhamhead cartoons too. He is a traitor and that is all there is to it. |

| #10 Interesting location, CF, the proctologists will be excited. |

| #9 If we send anymore back we should (at least) tell them that we embedded an undetectible (to xray...) GPS device in their butt... |

| #8 Well, unless they plan to disappear these turd burglars, sooner or later they will need to release their identities. So the question becomes, at what point are they of such little value that it doesn't matter. I doubt there are many left there we intend to hang. And fewer still we want to try in a civilian court. So what do you do with the buggers? Optimum, I would guess we send them back to their home countries, at least if they show any inclination to hang them. Maybe some of the more cooperative ones will quietly retire from the scene, and a few will be allowed to run free while we watch their every move. |

| #2 Maybe they can release an uncensored transcript of "Judge" Jakoff's latest 1-900 call. |

| #1 The vast majority of Democrats do not beleive we are in a war. That many of them are in the government bureaucracy and Judicial organs is very worrying. They just don't "get it". People like this "Judge" need a visit and sit down talk by people from high level operatives in or inteligence agencies to educate them. If they persist in their assholery after that remove them from their positions using existing law. |
