Relief for Gitmo Detainees

Nothing seems particularly newsworthy today. I come upon this feeling more often than not reading the news. Being in the news business must be hard work when you're just "not feeling it," when you don't give a damn. Man.

I know, I know, the Supreme Court decided Gitmo folks can't be subjected to military-style tribunals. That's good news. I would suggest that our legal system is strong enough to handle this stuff--even post 9/11. The US is still the best country in the world and I am a huge fan of our existing legal system. Hey, we're a DEMOCRACY! Yeah, a DEMOCRACY with an "innocent-until-proven-guilty" legal system. I say bring 'em on. Give them their day in court. Our existing system is good enough. Secret military tribunals are creepy. Can anyone say...STALIN?

Speaking of creepy...the dissenting opinions read from the bench were fairly hair-raising to me. Note to Scalia, Thomas, and Alito: Stop having lunch with Karl Rove. He will ruin you and tarnish your place in history. Hear me now, believe me later...
