"A possible ironic result is civilians here will be less safe, as we will have less and less means to get intel."
I read Congressman Billybob's analysis. He indicated the ruling does NOT order Gitmo shut down, does NOT order these perps released, does NOT order what to do.
Bush's first comments indicated he does NOT intend to endanger our citizens by turning these bad guys loose.
A lot remains to be finalized. I heard Lindsey Graham indicate he intends to work for legislation; heard Sen. Reid indicate cooperation.
A political football; one which properly used COULD be a plus for the upcoming elections.
Safety trumps politics, in my view. And a VERY SAD day for the USSC.
To think Souter and Kennedy appointed by Republicans. Stephens?
Stevens appointed 1975 by Ford (R).
