LAWYERING UP GITMO: HOW THE LEFT IS SCREWING UP OUR WAR EFFORT COMING & GOING

NYTIMES: Judge Halts Transfer of Guantanamo Detainee

A federal judge has barred the Bush administration from sending a Guantánamo detainee to his home country, where he claims he would face torture.

The judge, Gladys Kessler of United States District Court for the District of Columbia, issued an injunction prohibiting the planned transfer of the detainee to Tunisia, which has been criticized by American and international officials for human rights abuses.

Saying that the detainee, Mohammed Rahman, claimed that such a transfer would amount to a death sentence, Judge Kessler said “it would be a profound miscarriage of justice” if she allowed the government to send him to Tunisia.

“At that point, the damage would have been done,” she wrote, adding that Mr. Rahman faced a 20-year sentence after a conviction at a terrorism trial the Tunisian government held while he was at Guantánamo.

Advocates for detainees and human rights groups said the ruling was an important development in the legal battle over Guantánamo. They said it could reshape what have been frequent legal conflicts over administration plans to send detainees to countries where they say they face torture or mistreatment.

• THE LEFT WON'T LET US KEEP THEM IN GITMO AND THEY WON'T LET US SHIP 'EM OUT.
• ALL THEY REALLY WANTS TO DO IS TIE US UP IN KNOTS AND LET THE JIHADO-TERRORISTS OFF SCOT FREE.
• SEEMS TO ME WE OUGHTTA BE ALLOWED TO SHIP BAD PEOPLE HOME.
  

AND JUST WHO IS THIS JUDGE KESSLER!? GLAD YOU ASKED; WIKI:

"Gladys Kessler is an United States District Court Judge for the District of Columbia.[1] She was nominated to the court by President Clinton, a Democrat, and is known as one of the most liberal judges in the D.D.C."

SCRATCH AN APPEASER AND YOU FIND A LIB. A CLINTON LIB.

IF GITMO IS REALLY AS BAD AS THE LEFTIES CLAIM, THEN WHY DO THE INMATES THERE FIGHT TO STAY?

NYTIMES:

The Supreme Court said Friday it would not prevent the U.S. from transferring an Algerian army veteran from Guantanamo Bay to his home country.

Ahmed Bel Bacha, who has been held at Guantanamo for five years, has argued he would be tortured if turned over to Algerian officials. One of at least two dozen detainees who have expressed fear of abuse if sent home...

BOTTOM-LINE:

GITMO IS NOT AS BAD AS THE LEFTIES HAVE ALWAYS ARGUED.

MANY INMATES PUT ON WEIGHT THERE, AND ALL HAVE A BETTER LIFE THEN THEY HAD ON THE BATTLEFRONMMTS FROM WHICH THEY WERE TAKEN.

THE LEFTIES WHO ATTACK THE USA FOR GITMO SHOULD STFU.

DO THE GITMO PRISONERS DESERVE ANYTHING?

The Geneva Convention is NOT international law; it is a TREATY which ONLY applies to SIGNATORIES.

To gain certain rights for its POWS a signatory must guarantee the same rights for all POWS of other SIGNATORIES.

These rights are limited to POWS, and POWS are defined as UNIFORMED fighters.

Non-uniformed fighters from third-party nations are NOT covered by Geneva -- no matter what the liberals on the SCOTUS might say.

But NO SANE SUPPORTER of Geneva could RATIONALLY argue that NON-UNIFORMED FOREIGN FIGHTERS FROM THIRD-PARTY NATIONS ARE ENTITLED TO MORE RIGHTS THAN POWS.

But this is EXACTLY what they argue.

After all. POWS are NOT given attorney's or the right to sue their captors in court. They are held until the cessation of hostilities.

SO... WHY GIVE ENEMY COMBATANTS (non-uniformed third-party fighters who are NOT covered by Geneva) MORE RIGHTS THAN POWS!?!?!?!?

It makes no freakin' sense. ZERO. Bupkuss. Zilch.

But it's exactly what the Left has successfully argued.

It sickens me.

Especially since these foreign fighters obey NO RULES OF WAR THEMSELVES.

All this effort (to give these enemy combatants MORE rights than POWS) does is HELP THE ENEMY.

Those who underwrite and undertake these efforts are traitors.

Traitors not only of the USA, but CIVILIZATION.
