Who Wants Lawyers as Main Weapon in War on Terror?

It's an interesting idea - what altitude can we drop them from, and what kind of penetration capability do they have??

[Non-Sequitur]

That's when long-'n-conservative Pinkerton weighed in: "It's not like we have access to evidence. What are we going to do - go to Afghanistan and find witnesses and stuff and find out if they're guilty or not?"

Don't we already have evidence on them? If we don't know that they did something then why are we holding them?

[mewzilla]

In fairness, short-'n-liberal Ellen Ratner did stop short of suggesting they should have full US-style trials.

The Dems just got bit by the libs on the SCOTUS. This is a classic case of be careful what you wish for because you may just get it. It'll be fun to watch them try to squirm out of this now that it's in Congress's lap.

"It was probably a mistake to ever bring them out of Aghanistan and Iraq to begin with, to take them to US soil . . . so that people like Ellen can get their hooks in them...."

Check back to the postings about Gitmo when it was first announced. Many postings on FR questioned the sanity of the same. Many postings questioned why we would bring prisoners to US soil. Regrettably, the decision-makers in Washington weren't operating with full mental capacities then, apparently.

Too many times what may look good on paper is a fiasco in reality.

We have tens of thousands of trials to conduct,most in abstencia.Every nazi and japanese pow held inside the borders of the United States during ww2 has been denied justice based of these rulings.They were each entitled to a fair trial,right?(sarcasm)

Thanks as always GLGB. You are so helpful in showing these loonies for the dumba**es they really are.

The Democrats just lost the midterm elections with this latest debacle.

[ConservativeMajority]

Did Ellen disclose her conflict of interest in this matter? Probably not. Her brother, Michael Ratner is the Vice President of the Center For Constitutional Rights, which has led the Leftist legal war against Gitmo.

Close Gitmo and transfer the prisoners to Iraqi authority. Let the Iraqi military intern them in the most fetid prisons they can find in Iraq. Pay the Iraqis to house, feed, interrogate and beat them to pulps.

That's the ticket.

(.........I wouldn't be surprised if my solution is actually in the works already)

Can we win a war with lawyers as the key force on the American side?

Well we do have more rounds of them than anybody else, probably more than everyone else put together. Of course quality control is an issue. But the biggest issue is they're now mostly pointing the wrong way, making BDS banzia charges at our ramparts. The Marines recognize banzai charges as a useful way for rapidly thinning the opposition and a harbinger of final victory, but to NEA educated civilians they can be quite intimidating. The public needs to be re-educated, perhaps by using Kelo to replace the networks with John Wayne movies. Once we've safely exploded the maldirected lawyers we should still have enough reliable legal rounds left to overwhelm the rest of the worlds defenses.
