I am not a lawyer, but reading this ruling, it seems it says a lot more than what the media is saying.
I found this part interesting:
"VII
We have assumed, as we must, that the allegations made in the Government's charge against Hamdan are true. We have assumed, moreover, the truth of the message implicit in that charge--viz., that Hamdan is a dangerous individual whose beliefs, if acted upon, would cause great harm and even death to innocent civilians, and who would act upon those beliefs if given the opportunity. It bears emphasizing that Hamdan does not challenge, and we do not today address, the Government's power to detain him for the duration of active hostilities in order to prevent such harm. But in undertaking to try Hamdan and subject him to criminal punishment, the Executive is bound to comply with the Rule of Law that prevails in this jurisdiction."
I think this means these thugs are not getting out. In fact, "duration of active hostilities" means they might be able to hold them until the war is over.
That's right. The Leftist Junk Media "Experts" are all clueless. Basically we cannot try them BUT we do not have to let them go. So they are stuck in perpetual legal limbo. We can do as we will with them. Stupid Leftists, you just made things worse for your terrorist buddies!
Send more sunblock.
Is there a reason this was started as a new thread, rather than a comment on one of the many existing discussions of this ruling?
Bandwith police are you?
I agree. They are prisonors of war.
LOL
Today is a good day to wear my Rush Gitmo tee......lol
LOL! And it could get even worse, as in "take no prisoners".
Oh yeah. That is so true.
I saw your name, and thought I'd let you know that there is a Darth Hello Kitty around here.
Notice that he did not say "U.S. Law". What he is trying to say is that foreign law is binding on the Executive Branch and therefore the SCOTUS rules.
****
---------- MORE proof that we are nearing the end.
The New York Times, The Terrorist Tipsheet of Record, must be thrilled.
OK, from now on I'll just start a new thread any time I have a random thought rattle through my head.
I think that the leftist elements in this country (democrats, media and leftist jurists), can no longer be trusted to protect the American people. We must do all we can to get rid of the influence these people have. They are truly scary in their regard for the enemies of our nation. They are truly scary in their lack of seriousness concerning this war on terror.
I suspect you're correct. Thanks for shedding some light on this.

My friend, it's been many many years since they have been....say 1968.
Yes, it has been going on that long hasn't it?
