Respect-O-Meter: Neighbor
Let the people go............

(SNIP)
A deeply divided Supreme Court yesterday ruled that terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have a right to seek their release in federal court, delivering a historic rebuke to the Bush administration and Congress for policies that the majority said compromised, in the name of national security, the Constitution's guarantee of liberty.


(SNIP)
The decision brought biting dissents from the four conservative justices, with Justice Antonin Scalia taking the unusual step of summarizing his opposition from the bench. "America is at war with radical Islamists," he wrote, adding that the decision "will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed." He went on to say: "The Nation will live to regret what the court has done today."


A disappointed President Bush was not as dramatic. "We'll abide by the court's position," he said in Rome, in the midst of a European tour. "That doesn't mean I have to agree with it."

What does the Supreme Court care, afterall the enemy isn't killing justices just American troops. Maybe the troops should get a say on who get released or who gets lawyers. It has been reported that persons released from Gitmo and returned to the middle east have ended up fighting against American troops again.

Fine! Charge them, take them to court and kill them. To just hold them in prison without being charged, without representation, all for the reasons of just because is just not what I grew up believing America was all about.

There is one BIG problem with that statement:
THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS! THEY ARE POW's!
