I see it as an anti-military mindset. I believe they think such complex issues as terrorism and international interdiction should be the province of the legal elite (the “apostate priesthood” as one commentator has called the judiciary) rather than the “plebian” military. It is sad they should be willing to put their lives and their families’ lives at risk for elitism and intellectualism.
I just read an article about several “detainees” and their lawyer. They have applied for security clearances so they can have access to US intelligence reports. Don’t assume they will be denied. Denial will result in dismissal of any charges brought against them. That alone highlights the stupidity of Supreme Court liberals.
I can tell you from personal experience that just filling out security clearance applications is an experience like no other. With that in mind, maybe we can learn more about the terrorist than they can about us. The application requires a timeline of a persons life with no gaps. All employment, associations, education, family members, foreign travel and residencies have to be listed. Multiple personal references are also required. All information has to be completely verified by FBI and other field agents.
Imagine an agent interviewing a goat-herder in some remote area of Iran. Yeah, I know it wont happen because it is just not practical no matter what some judges demand. The dumb lawyers and the blind squirrel can get lucky and the detainees can wind up free. Others who have been released have gone back to the battlefield. As we are seeing, the Haditha cases against our troops are proving it is not murder to kill the enemies in combat.
Finally, this could drag things out so long that the 200+ detainees and their lawyers could die of old age. Ditto for stupid liberal judges. Some other Freepers can take it from here. I’ve got to have some more coffee and figure out what I can sell to buy a couple of gallons of gas.
