"In addition to authorizing military commissions similar to those the Supreme Court overturned the Military Commissions Act of 2006 was intended to close off all the remaining writs of habeas corpus. On June 29, 2007 the Supreme Court agreed to hear outstanding habeas corpus, opening up the possibility that they might overturn some or all of the new Congressional law setting up the 2006 Military Commissions Act.[15]

Davis called the Supreme Court's intention to review the MCA "meddling": [16] Davis said: "This constant uncertainty and meddling certainly takes a toll on people, It would be nice to have some certainty for a change."

Well lookie here! Apparently, some of those wrongfully detained prisoners were radicalized by their experience in the gulag:

Militants found recruits among Guantanamo's wrongly detained

My favorite part of the whole article is this bit right here:

Call me cynical, but I wonder if that wasn't the point all along. The US desperately needs Al Queda. Otherwise they would never be able to justify stationing tens of thousands of soldiers in the Middle East.

I'm sure Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore are having a fit over something like this. The idea that we might actually have some bad guys in Gitmo is beyond their comprehension. Not that I think we shouldn't give these guys some form of due process, but in the end, some of these guys are there for a reason.

[Plantagenet]

Hopefully the judge will accept their guilty pleas and sentence these mass murderers to death.

[Precipice]

Killing them is not enough- that's just what they want anyway.

What is needed is a way to destroy their 'souls'. If only it was possible to induce some kind of alzheimers-like condition in their brains, so that they would be helplessly forced to watch their sense of selves (and especially their sense of belief and faith in their silly religion) slip away piece by agonizing piece....leaving them as nothing but empty broken aimless shells of their former selves.

That or they could just be lobotomized.

[IanC]

Too funny. Outfoxed by some sorry jihadists who've been in prison for 7 years.

By the way, Mos, I don't think people ever doubted that everyone in Gitmo was innocent. Instead, it was more the broad sweeps of people, held without trial and the extranational renderings which pissed people off. Me, for one, anyway.

Chechen Terrorists to be Buried in Pigskin

According to the Moskovski Komsomol newspaper, Russian security forces have decided to bury the terrorists from last's week's hostage siege wrapped in pig's skin. The aim is to deter potential Islamic terrorists from future attacks.

Shahidi (Jihad martyrs) believe by their nefarious acts that they ascend immediately to heaven. Using their beliefs against them, wrapping their corpses in 'unclean' pigskin prevents them from entering heaven for eternity."

The last things these guys want is a fair, public jury trial. They know they will be convicted anyway and the results of their crimes would once again be put on world display along with the demonstration of a (reasonably) thorough and (reasonably) fair US Justice system. They would end up looking like common mass murderers which is not what they want. They want to be the glorious martyrs and they also want the sentence carried out by conviction under the secret tribunal to demonstrate hypocrisy in the American rhetoric.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t was stunning to see today how not only do the defendants comprehend their extensive rights ... they are explicitly asking the court to hurry up because they are bored with the due process they are receiving.
