For a lawyer to take that position is frankly shocking and disgusting. Mr. Stimson apparently went to the same law school as Nancy Grace. Both are a disgrace to the profession and should be ashamed of themselves.

Well, it's nice to have it spelt out by them, i guess: They are enemies of our freedoms.

You mean we shouldn't be making the rules as we go? Bending previous rules to our whim? Are you telling me that we're not allowed to torture prisoners based on their heritage? How very un-American of you..

Seeing how much prejudice these detainees are up against ... why shouldn't they have good lawyers?

I find it kind of odd how people puff their chest out at the thought of them having decent legal council, but ignore the fact that Dub-ya played a huge roll in the "terrorist" attacks.

Hey, man...habeas corpus is, like, SOOOOO last year, or, like, so 1215. Forget pre-911, we're pre Magna Carta. Big bro says terrorist and he knows all. W and Blair said they know all the evildoers at Gitmo are, well, evildoers. Ride that circle for a while, "liberal" media. Just Ask Atilla. We've moved on...off the cliff like lemmings and into the great divide with the decider...yikes what a mess.

Hopefully history will show us pity. But, I doubt it.

How can a lawyer forget the basic tenet of criminal justice? The accused is innocent until proven guilty. I guess the chance to puff up his chest for being against terrorists was too big of a temptation.

Uh...of COURSE they're ALL terrorists! How else could we have legal precendent to hold them without a trial, due process or habeas corpus? How else can we give these people the rights that ALL people deserve without taking them away from them before they have a chance to even taste them?

Glad I'm not the only one to feel that way about Nancy (dis) Grace. Her "your guilty and I know it" a lot of times before an arrest has even been made disgusts me. Unfortunately this seems to be the M.O. of a lot of todays D.A.s as well. Convictions before Justice or even Truth for that matter.

every American person you mean .

There have been American detainees there.

No _eagle. No there hasn't.

Enemy Combatants. That's all.
They're really hardly even human.

I've always wanted to see Grace get fucked in the mouth by an elephant...but now I will add Stimson in a tandem scenario.

indeed. if you're detained at Gitmo, that automatically makes you un-American! that way, we don't have to worry about pesky things like "innocent until proven guilty". at Gitmo, we have trapped the terrars so that they can no longer threaten us!

If fact, I hear they are really Commie robots sent from the future to spread Anti-American propaganda, turn the US into San Francisco, and turn us all gay.

Turn the U.S. into San Francisco? Pfft. It would be impossible to force that much culture and diversity on the Midwest. Not even robots could force that.

People are dumb. Americans are dumb for not understanding their government. Terrorists are dumb for thinking we give a shit about them. Our collective memory is surprisingly short; I still meet people who trust the government, even after 2,500 years of corruption.
