I am gritting my teeth when I say this, especially living in Kollyfornneyah - but the 9th circuit ruled CORRECTLY for once. As much as I hate the fact that we are more willing to let the people who want to kill us get off scot-free, the court apparently correctly interpreted the law. Please do NOT flame me for this, because I DISAGREE with the premise, but under the law, since the President did not declare official 'war', these detainees are, under the Constitution, entitled to counsel. It SUCKS, but unless someone can cite a precedent, it's the law.

Questions...

What COUNTRY are these detainees under? Is AL-Quaeda a country? What army are they with (they wear no uniforms)?
Understand that you declare war on COUNTRIES not groups!
These cruds are enemy combatants and are aliens with NO rights! Shark food is the only thing these cruds are good for!

Do you think POWs in Vietnam, Korea, Gulf War I, Grenada, Haiti, etc. got legal counsel? The fact the war isn't declared by Congress doesn't change it.
