I was fairly annoyed when I saw this yesterday but assumed I'd be in the minority regarding our handling of enemy combatants.
But stuff like:
“After that, I don’t know what happens,” said Judge Allred, who had developed
a warm relationship with Mr. Hamdan during months of pretrial hearings.
And:
Mr. Hamdan,
who at times has shown a mischievous sense of humor, raised his arms and said a good-natured, “Bye, bye everybody.”
And:
“Inshallah,” Judge Allred responded.
And:
Mr. Hamdan’s answer to his safety if returned to Yemen, Professor Schmitz said, was: “Look, you guys get me out of Gitmo. I’ll take care of Yemen.”
Speechless..........Fortunately I can still type.
This is clearly a war our Government doesn't intend to 'win', as such.
If I were on trial I am fairly certain I wouldn't be 'showing a mischievous sense of humor'. What about the impartiality of the Judge? He developed a warm relationship with a defendant?!?!??! Does he even understand what 'inshallah' means? No, it's not as simple as 'god willing', you utter moron!
We are so screwed if this is the best we can do.
