This is B.S. Looks like even Luttig suffers from "Judge-itis". Why can't the executive branch change its mind about the best way to handle a terrorist suspect? The fact that they decided to bring him into regular court does not mean that they did not believe at one time, at least, that he was a national security threat.
Indeed, didn't the reversal of approach shortstop a potentially disastrous ruling that might have freed ALL those being held? Sounds to me like sour grapes by the judge and he couldn't fathom the "big picture." Was he more interested in his legacy than helping the administration nagivate the legal minefields that prevent advancement in the WOT?
