I hold this judge in complete contempt.

Why? Unless something is being seriously misrepresented here, the judge is obviously correct. Coerced testimony has to be thrown out in any civilian criminal court. The judge is just following the law. What would you have him do?

Why not reserve your contempt for the persons actually responsible: Eric Holder and Obama? They are the ones who removed these perps from a perfectly legal wartime detainment regime, and military tribunals to determine and mete out punishment for their war crimes, and put them instead into a civilian criminal court where the judges have to do as this judge has done.

Great points. Obama and Holder are to blame for this,,,not the judge.

One more time - no, they did not. This is a habeas petition case.
