Touchy.

Ack.

The Green, Green Grass of Home

Lost sleep.

While I was stuck in traffic on the way to UStream’s Mountain View offices for the From the Frontlines web-a-thon yesterday, I tuned into the Gitmo interrogation hearing by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. Serving as human voo-doo dolls: Berkeley law professor John Yoo, who served in the [...]

We’re Screwed ’08.

What’s that sound? The thunder of left-wing lawyers and Gitmo detainees jumping up and down for joy at the Supreme Court’s ruling this morning. Brace yourselves. Dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia warns that the ruling “will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed” and concludes “The Nation will live to regret what the Court has [...]

Oops.

Pakistanis Seethe.

Manufactured Outrage.

Revenge of the Gitmo Lawyers

No Martyr Zone.

On record. Plus: How did McCain vote?

Made for You Tube.

Orange crush.

The Close Gitmo brigade.

Shocked, shocked.

Follow the money.

Torture.

A moonbat speaks truth to power!

Earlier this month, the US released 16 Saudis from Guantanamo Bay. A total of 77 Saudis have been freed from detention. If you shared my “Uh-oh” reaction, then you will not be surprised by this latest report in The Age (via Andrew Bolt) about freed Gitmo detainees taking up arms and resuming jihad. According to [...]

Holding hands with the Saudis. At what price?

An anthology of poetry from Guantanamo Bay detainees is about to be published. What rhymes with despicable?

A military judge has thrown out the charges against Gitmo detainee Omar Khadr. The decision hinged on how Khadr was classified. Andy McCarthy is sorting through the ruling. Bottom line: Briefly, an enemy combatant can be any enemy soldier. Such a combatant is unlawful if he has not comported with the laws of war — [...]

Waiting for the next Harry Potter book to arrive: Guantanamo Bay – “War on terror” detainees at Guantanamo are avid Harry Potter readers and eagerly await the next book in the series featuring the schoolboy wizard, the camp librarian says. While religion tops the reading lists of the overwhelmingly Muslim detainees, Harry Potter was a [...]

Debra Burlingame blows the whistle on how an unscrupulous legal and PR campaign changed the way the world looks at Guantanamo. Supporting links, photos, and video at 9/11 Families for a Secure America. Read this.

Saturday’s New York Times identifies by name the anonymous senior government official who talked to the WSJ’s Rob Pollock about the lawyers at Gitmo and said that major American law firms were effectively subsidizing the interned terrorists. The Times names him as Charles Stimson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs. Law professors and [...]

We’ve seen this before, but now the WSJ’s Rob Pollock writes up a junket to Gitmo. (It’s subscriber-only at this point, but will probably show up on Opinionjournal.com in a day or two.) The terrorists are fat and happy, sittin’ in La-Z-Boys, watching Harry Potter. It tracks pretty well with Patterico’s extensive interviews with former [...]
