The courts are racist at best, and have no morality. There is no justice in america. If you doubt or disagree to waht I say, just take any 100 cases involving blacks verses white, and study them.

This bush appointed judge was told to reject whether it were legal or illegal because to grant a hearing would eventually lead to war crimes trial s for the entire administration and army accomplices.

We have an independent judiciary in this country, moron. A bullet is what they deserved.

...they...

are not american citizens

were captured on the battlefield

are not on america soil

are not legitimate combatants of a sovreign nation

...so none of our biased laws apply to them!

Bush's biggest mistake was to not get a Constitutional Amendment to the Constitution right after 911 to define rights and close the legal nexus. Now, they will tie it up for years in courts. The end will be the same but it will take years, and the statement we made in fialing to do so is huge.

Fortunately, we have a judge who stil thinks the Constitution has limits.

Time to pick a side. I already have!

I don't understand the religious part of it. They dont have any respect for other people and their beliefs, why should they be treated with respect? Why should certain individuals get special treatment because of religious, spiritual, or other beliefs? The constitution says there is a clear separation of church and state, and last I checked, jails and prisons belong to the state (government). They shouldn't have to pander to anybody on a religous level at all, it would be unconstitutional to do such a thing. All they should have to do is let them have whatever bible, koran, etc. that they request. What's going on here?

It's nothing more than a pretext to get these folks into court. They realize that they cannot get there with anything else.
