Screw it. Declare defeat, turn everybody loose, and suck the troops out of wherever they are. Let the world go to Hell, and let them come and destroy all we have. Nothing we can do, so I'm heading for the mountains. Eff 'em.

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.
