Appointed by Clinton, of course.

WH should denounce this decision and immediately appeal.

[Satadru]

Does he mean by detainees in US jails, or in Guantanemo?

This is the same Judge who ruled in favor of that Berry woman on the U. S. Civil Rights Commision against the President..

[OldFriend]

Damn the judge to hell

[rintense]

It will be appealed.

[swarthyguy]

Now the lawsuits can start; a veritable deluge.

And, whatever assets of alqaeda we have in custody will be available to CAIR, AMC, and other jihadi groups all around the world.

Peachy.

A Pakistani kid from Peshawar who pumps my gas sometimes was picked and released. He didn't enjoy the experience, but he certainly wasn't treated badly and seems no worse for the experience.

Judge orders U.S. to ID detainees

More than 1,100 people rounded up since Sept. 11

MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 — A federal judge gave the government 15 days Friday to disclose the names of people detained in the investigation of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

“THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S power to arrest and hold individuals is an extraordinary one,” U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler said in a 45-page ruling. “Here, the government has used its arrest power to detain individuals as part of an investigation that is widespread in its scope and secrecy.”
Kessler said she would allow only two exceptions. On a case-by-case basis, she will consider allowing the government to keep a detainee’s name secret if the detainee is a material witness to a terror investigation.
Kessler also will allow the government to withhold a name if the detainee requests it.
Kessler ruled that the government’s rationale for keeping the names secret was insufficient. She said the government’s argument that terrorists in other nations might map the progress of U.S. investigators by determining who had been captured was illogical.

This will be appealled so fast the judge's head will spin.
