Supreme Court Blocks Bush, Gitmo War Trials.
SCOTUSblog says: “The Court appears to have held that Common Article 3 of Geneva aplies to the conflict against Al Qaeda.”
I have no further comments; I just like hearing good news. Although it’s unnerving that this sort of thing passes for good news:
Hey, everybody! Against the opinion of our President, Congress, military, and intelligence agencies, the Supreme Court declared that humans might actually have rights, and that our government might actually have to obey the law!
yes, good news indeed. but on the other hand, now they will cart off everyone left at gitmo to our fabled “black sites” where we shant be hearing from them again. did they even go into that issue in this case? those black sites? hmmm. has the govt’ even admitted to their existence? *ponders*
