The order by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White of San Francisco is the first time a government lawyer has been held potentially liable for the abuse of detainees.

Wow, just wow. So can the victims of Waco, Ruby Ridge, or countless other victims of unconstitutional government force sue as well?
What about people who lost their retirement due to the Chrysler takeover?

I wonder what a Cheney Judge would have done?
Well, I'd say the judge failed miserably.
“This lawsuit poses the question addressed by our founding fathers about how to strike the proper balance of fighting a war against terror, at home and abroad, and fighting a war using tactics of terror.”

Wake up, judge, and smell the green tea.
The Founding Fathers had no clue about

country.
Are you out of your mind? Of course not. :D
This may set records for being the fastest overturning of any judgement anywhere.
They had Indian raids did they not? And the Indians often used terrorism: surprise attacks (when the colonists thought they had a peaceful arrangement,) targeting civilians, and atrocities as psychological warfare.
Ok lets see, telling a terrorist that they have the RIGHT to remain silent.... Exactly how does that make us safe Again?
Maybe the Latina women would make a better judgement call?
and death. A lot of death.
The order by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White of San Francisco...

A district judge screws a federal judge.

Living in the new Communists America will be hell.
The current war, no.
They were however very familiar with the butchery, torture and brutality visited upon colonials during the French and Indian War. Waterboarding ain't torture, nor cruel or unusual.
How about people suing lower court judges for legal fees and other abuses due to their legal incompetence after being overruled by higher courts?
Gold point. I look forward to the day the Supreme Court debates whether lawyers and judges can be sued over their legal opinions. It would open the greatest can of worms ever seen.
