#2 I think Bush should draft the entire 9th Circuit, send it to Afghanistan, and give it orders to :"defend" 'suspected' Taliban in Afghani courts. At the same time, the US commander in Afghanistan should whisper in Karzai's ear, "Don't you think the defenders of these evil men should get the same punishment they receive?" That way, we could accomplish a number of things, on many different levels, and all for the good of the United States in particular and justice throughout the world.

#4 My understanding was that we had Gitmo under lease agreement with Cuba to begin with, which basically means that we rent it. Again, no clue about jurisdiction here ...

Yep. We send the Cuban government a rent check every year. Castro cashed them for 2-3 years, then stopped.

#6 Again, no clue about jurisdiction here ...

SCOTUS is looking into the status of the US base at Gitmo right now. If they determine it is US soil then arguably court jurisdiction extends to Gitmo as well. The decision is expected some time around July.

#7 Our courts have lost their way. Completely. Pray for the soul of the nation coz the court system in this country is helping to destroy it.

When the beard starts cashing them again it will be a sign that the end is near.
