A federal judge has blocked the government from transferring 13 Yemenis from the U.S. detention center for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, until a hearing is held on concerns the detainees may be mistreated in another country.

The judge's ruling temporarily blocks any plans by the government to transfer the detainees to prisons in other countries.

Lawyers for the Yemenis are worried the government will try to move them from the Guantanamo Bay facility to another country in order to "warehouse them in a prison, provide them with no legal process and, in effect, avoid the American court process altogether," Marc Falkoff, an attorney for the detainees, said Sunday.

Oh sheesh .......its a freaking war.

What's to prevent them from ignoring the activist judge's order and doing what needs to be done? Transfer seemed like a great solution to me...and don't be bringing them back until we get our hyperactive judicial under control.

This sounds like a typical liberal attempt to put the administration in a box.

They want the US to release the detainees.

They don't want us to release them to another country, ostensibly because they might be mistreated. Most likely, it would remove another liberal rallying point (like the Iraqi elections were removed) and leave them with even less of a voice than they have now.

Completely pathetic. What has happened to the Democrats, The Party of The Ass?

Weren't the "human rights" dummies just bitchin' about mistreatment at Guantanamo Bay,now they sue so they can stay?

Damn,make a decision.

Is there any definitive reason why these "detainees" haven't been brought to a military trial yet? All I ever read about this is psychobabble from both sides.

"Let's git her done!"

Actually, what's to stop them from picking up the judge and placing him in detention in Guantanamo?

The judge will send his Army and Navy down there to enforce the order.

'Religious abuse' at Guantanamo

Since they are all innocent, they should have nothing to worry about. They will be reunited with their Muslim brothers.

Cajonies, gutless RINO's don't have any.

Another case of a judge usurping the powers of the executive branch.

"Another case of a judge usurping the powers of the executive branch"

The branches of government are EQUAL according to the US Constitution. The Executive branch has no duty to follow the Judicial branch. Also, the Legislative branch can LEGISLATE the purview of the Judicial branch. That means that congress or senate can limit the reach and the cases the courts can hear. If only any of those "in power" had the nuts to actually use the power that they rightly have.

I heard Alan Keyes speak quite eloquently on this subject irt the removal of feeding from Terry Schiavo.
Keyes pointed out the judicial branch has no army, no power to enforce their decrees. So when we arrive at this point, of an overarching judicial, somebody must take the first step in refusing to stand down.
