This has to stop

Detainees Deserve Court Trials:

"Adel is innocent. I don't mean he claims to be. I mean the military says so. It held a secret tribunal and ruled that he is not al Qaeda, not Taliban, not a terrorist. The whole thing was a mistake: The Pentagon paid $5,000 to a bounty hunter, and it got taken.

The military people reached this conclusion, and they wrote it down on a memo, and then they classified the memo and Adel went from the hearing room back to his prison cell. He is a prisoner today, eight months later. And these facts would still be a secret but for one thing: habeas corpus"


I'm starting to think that there are hundreds of Adels down there. That's about the only conclusion that I can reach as to why people ostensibly elected to defend the Constitution have been pissing all over it. At some point the powers that be realized that a large majority of the people down there were not terrorists. They may have been fighting against American forces in Afghanistan, but fighting an occupying power does not a terrorist make.

This is a CYA operation by someone who realizes that when the truth comes out, and it will, that when the truth comes out they are well truly fucked. This whole regime is well and truly fucked and will go down in history as undoubtedly the worst of all-time.

They are "proper fucked" as Turkish would say.
