NUTS!!! I was hoping this would go forward. The Judge is an idiot, though.

Government employees who engage in questionable acts, such as abusing prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay facility ...... cannot be held individually liable if they are carrying out official duties, the court said.

Oh, so Ex-PV1 England was wrongly prosecuted for her actions in Abu Ghraib? Nitwit judges...I'll bet this goof was a Clinton pick.

Appointed by Reagan in 1985, replaced Scalia on the CoA. Voted to overturn the convictions of Oliver North and John Poindexter. Nitwit? Maybe, if you were wearing liberal rose colored glasses.

Huh?

In the face of ~20K articles in papers all over the country painting pLame as a victim, this judge sees through the pLame sham, rules accordingly, and you call "idiot"?

I'll not jump to any conclusions and start painting you as a closet lib, but you're really going to have to get a little more on the ball, here, and explain where you're coming from in greater detail than you have.

From my position, I don't see where this ruling has the broad implications you seem to perceive that it has vis-a-vis government employees "carrying out official duties". But, granting that you may have a sound point, please elaborate; lay out your argument in full.
