Did FDR have the same restriction on enemy combatants? If not, we have precedent.U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly
Who nominated this individual? I need not point out the inherent leftism of people with hypenated names.
Someone should remind this TRAITOR judge about this little news item from last week:
Pentagon: Ex-Detainees Return to Terror
10/17/2004 (AP)
WASHINGTON - Despite gaining their freedom by signing pledges to renounce violence, at least seven former prisoners of the United States at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have returned to terrorism, at times with deadly consequences.
At least two are believed to have died in fighting in Afghanistan, and a third was recaptured during a raid of a suspected training camp in Afghanistan, said Lt. Cmdr. Flex Plexico, a Pentagon spokesman. Others are at large.

Hmmmmmmmm.... Now I wonder who nominated this judge, I wonder, I wonder...
I always thought it was a mistake to bring them to U.S. territory. We should have left them in a facility in Afghanistan under token Afghan control.
Since when does U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly have jurisdiction over Cuban territory?
With a name like that she can only be a leftist.
DANG! I was betting this freakazoid was a female judge! Too much mercy and not enough justice.
Clinton appointee perhaps ?
Like Kerry, she believes that Islamo-facists terrorist can be taught to work a job and live productive lives.
Right after they collect their virgins :)
Putin would probably be glad to cooperate and store them in an old Gulag for a moderate fee, and the contract labor there is experienced in interogation.

Then look at the other side of the coin, they were quick to get enlisted people in the dock for quick punishment after the prison scandal. Not one officer has been in the dock. Seems there is no one in charge there.
Looks like American justice goes after the easy pickings.
THESE ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY. THESE PEOPLE ARE TERRORISTS. THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE HAPPY TO CUT A LAWYER'S HEAD OFF BECAUSE HE/SHE IS AN AMERICAN!

Get back in the kitchen and rattle those pots and pans, woman. Jurisprudence is men's work.
The administrations answer should be: Eff off, try and enforce your ruling judge.
Let them all go. Follow them, and at the first sign of renewed "activity", neutralize them. Certainly, we can shadow 600 terrorists, no?
Our courts are going to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY........
