He said the detaining of hundreds of men for nearly four years without revealing to the public who they were and why they were being held was "really an unprecedented action by the government" that clashed with the principles of democracy.

Being attacked by enemies at home and abroad in such a cut-throat fashion is kind of unprecedented too, huh, Mr. Schulz?

Heck, even the dogs are getting sued. Well, two of their handlers anyway.

Has the left no shame?

In this 1994 photo released by the U.S. Army, Sgt. Michael J. Smith is seen during practice at Fort Riley, Kan. Sgt. Smith faced an article 32 hearing at Fort Meade, Md., which ended Wednesday, July 27, 2005. The hearing will determine weather Smith and Sgt. Santos A. Cardona will face courts martial on charges in connection with of prisoner Abuse at Abu Ghraib Prison, in Baghdad. On Tuesday, witnesses testified that military dogs bit at least two detainees at the prison in Iraq, one severely enough torequire stitches. A defense lawyer told reporters the approval came from top officials as the Army tried to bring to Iraq some of the techniques that human-rights advocates have criticized at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Is there a point of law here, or is the judge improvising?

The Red Cross has visited Gitmo numerous times. If these people wanted their identities out, they would be out.

Obviously, the vast majority do not. Terrorists are sort of like spies in that regard.

Where do these wacko "judges" get off? If they want to get involved in the war on terror, I suggest that they get off their asses, take off those goofy looking robes, put on some desert BDUs, grab an M-16 and get their goat smellin' asses over to Baghdad and help out.

Good Lord!

They (the left) want us to release the names so the Terrorist F@#!s can change their plans!

It's that Constitutional right to publicity. Haven't you consulted the emanations from the penumbrae lately?

These cut-throats deserve nothing more than death. The firing squads should run 24x7 until the job is done.

A very good point.  Is there a precedent for this or is the left just winging it as they go along?  Do these people ever give up?  Why do they continue to beat this dead horse?  This is just another ploy to keep this Gitmo nonsense alive.  Apparently they are the only ones who don't understand that probably only about 10% of people in this country even care about this non-story anymore.

Had WWII never happened it would 'almost' be unprecedented. And that's an ACLU fact.

"that dog looks like a pig! What kind of breed is that?! "

It's a pig-bull.

[Sans-Culotte]

Also, can anyone name at least two Germans by name who were held in prison camps in WWII?

Did you copy and paste this?

Weather?

I am queen of all typos on message boards. I can care less about hitting spell check. But that is from a NEWS source?

Wolfgang Schmidt and Hans Schneider.

LOL,, The theory is all the cub reporters are running AP today. ;-)

[FlingWingFlyer]

Does anyone know where these so-called "judges" get their authority to decide what goes on in Cuba? I think these jugheads are working out of their jurisdication.
