Hmm, maybe these military trials will work out afterall, despite the naysaying by the Far Left.

re: #4 theheat

Actually he would not be a martyr if he were to live out his days in confinement and boredom, I think that is what he does not want; give it to him.

About time.

re: #7 Semper Gumbi

Hmm, maybe these military trials will work out afterall, despite the naysaying by the Far Left.

Most things that the Far Left is against work out.

...the first trial before the special tribunals created by President George W. Bush

That's all that needs to be said for much of the world to consider his incarceration illegitimate.

Just out of curiosity who let the media know where this clown was? With ppl like him its far better to exercise rendition and get what we want out of him until we can put him down for a dirtnap. Why should he get to stay alive? None of the innocents in the Twin Towers or any of the other al qaeda attacks have been given that luxury.

re: #9 Peacekeeper

About time.

Yep, get the wheels of justice turning now, before the next President (whoever he is) disbands the military tribunals, opens the gates at Gitmo, and demolishes the brand new border fences.

I'd like to see this guy's medical records to see just how much weight he gained (at US taxpayer expense) while in captivity awaiting a trial in which he was defended by lawyers also paid for with our tax dollars.

Contrast all that to the treatment our people receive when they are unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of this bastard's compatriots.

Our sense of decency is truly breathtaking.

The MSM seems to think that being a 'driver' to Bin Laden is akin to being a know-nothing chauffeur which I'm sure is hardly the case.

And further curious to see what comes next.

Yes, it's about time, not that I was sweating it, but even so.

MajorMac

As a former JAG officer and having taught the Law of War, studied the tribunal court system and watched the supposed "judicial system" develop at GITMO, I can only state the obvious, this system and the Judges, the Trial Counsel and the Military Members (Jury) are hand picked to assure a guilty verdict and to uphold the Administrations political claims. This process makes the term "Kangaroo Court" look good by comparison.

xargaw

Perhaps someday the Bush Administration will face the same trials. That would be justice.

Erdgeist

Do you hate the Constitution to which every military person swears allegiance? It is not the military (I have been there and done that) that is the problem, it is torturing the guy; getting him to confess to something he didn't do and then executing him. (Uh, dude. He hasn't been sentenced yet)

wagonjak

Suprise, suprise...this kangaroo court was a foregone conclusion...there's no way this administration would have released Hamden for any reason...after all the press this has been given, to free him would have been a huge blow to the war on terror...and another gaping hope in it's credibility...

re: #22 itellu3times

I am curious why this was the first one they put on trial.

My guess is that this guys was the easiest and least complicated... and perhaps testimony in this one will be what they build on for the next one.

While that is undoubtedly true and will certainly work to our advantage I tend to take a somewhat different view of the matter:

You cannot fight Evil by doing Evil.

Different analysis, same result.

He wouldn't have to provide material support to terrorism if there were no "war on terror." George Bush should be the one going to prison!

re: #26 Spiny Norman

Well, here's the thing, I presume that most of those held, are "suspected" of actually having directly killed US troops in ways that, under the Geneva Conventions, means they can be summarily executed. And I hope that's what happens. And wait for the hoohah, if and when it does.

We didn't set up the Gitmo system to hold onto bin Laden's driver.

Can you imagine the moonscaped roads this guy drove on, with IEDs and missiles in back, dodging donkeys and rickshaws through the Afghan/Pak border areas and the Khyber Pass?

This was no ordinary cruise-controlled chaffeur to the Mighty One favored by the Taliban who ran Afghanistan~

That particular cartoon is SFW... Not all of his are, though.

The ususal suspects will wail that he was denied due process; that the process was rigged; that evidence used against him would never be allowed in a court of law; etc.

Those are all excuses for someone who was a terrorist operating and providing support to Osama bin Laden. He didn't deny that he worked for bin Laden, only that he wasn't a terrorist himself. He was busy claiming he did it for the $200 pay per month.

Right. Any evidence that was proffered to support the prosecutors is automatically suspect in the eyes of the left. The Left considers the tribunals illegitimate and will say and do anything to get this verdict overturned.

Powerline notes that he could still appeal this decision, and the liberal appellate judge who would handle the case is likely sympathetic.

This guy certainly knew that he was not driving a 'Red Crecent" car.
He deserves life, but what do you do with these guys when Gitmo is shut down?

I'm not so sure. Doesn't OBL seem like yesterday's news, even in jihadiland?

Every NPR story on this mentioned that the "harsh questioning" used during interrogations could negate any testimony. They didn't even accuse interrogators of "torture"; only "harsh interrogations". What are interrogators supposed to do?

Interrogator: Heya Abdul, how are you doing today? Would you like a cup of tea?

Abdul the terrorist: Fuck you, infidel dog!

Interrogator: Oh, I'm sorry. I wore my Georgetown Hoyas cap today. There, it's now in the trash... No dogs around here, now.

Abdul the terrorist: *seeths*

Interrogator: So, Abdul, I have to ask, did you ever drive Osama bin Laden around? Say a few times... Maybe? Please say something...

Abdul the terrorist: NO.

Interrogator: Ok. Here's your Quran. He's innocent, Jim. He said so himself! You're free to go, Abdul. Due to your harsh three-year confinement and subsequent cooperation in our questioning, the U.S. government will provide you with citizen status and free housing.

Abdul the terrorist: Really? Allahu Akhbar!

Correct. Much of the so-called progressive agenda cannot win in the marketplace, so its proponents regularly resort to force (courts, fraud, institutional takeover, intimidation, etc.) to advance it. This has been going on a long time, and there are no signs of it stopping. With Obama in office, they're practically salivating at the possibilities.

re: #150 pingjockey

Who was the moonbat lawyer on the courthouse steps yesterday spouting off about that woman who was gonna jihad in Pakistan/Afghanistan? All I remember she was another loony left ugly broad. Probably a code pinko who shows her tits.

Agreed. The event itself is not a cause for celebration, not even in jest. It was a necessary evil.

Let's play "Moonbat Semiotician" with that first image:

1) They've darkened Obama to emphasize his blackness and "otherness". 2) They've turned him into a human-shaped silhouette... like a TARGET... which is a coded call for his assassination!

re: #186 Killgore Trout

Hey KG, keep posting that #14 from two stories down.

IIRC, the general drift in here had been that the last few Supreme Court smackdowns delivered to the Bush administration heralded the end of the free world, etc.

Well, the gnashing of teeth eventually diminished (dentition does wear out a bit), the military trials started and--surprise!--Hamdan is guilty. Yes, that Hamdan, poster child for the "far left" view that special military commissions were not a really good idea in a constitutional democracy that values its treaties.

Here's a crazy idea: how 'bout next time, let's not try to tar and feather everyone who believes in the rule of law.

(Nah, screw 'em. 'Cause, as everyone knows, regularly constituted military tribunals are soft on terrorism.)

re: #182 Occasional Reader

Agreed. The event itself is not a cause for celebration, not even in jest. It was a necessary evil.

It was something that had to be done. Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan, would have had enormous casualties:

A study done for Secretary of War Henry Stimson's staff by William Shockley estimated that conquering Japan would cost 1.7 to 4 million American casualties, including 400,000 to 800,000 fatalities, and five to ten million Japanese fatalities. The key assumption was large-scale participation by civilians in the defense of Japan

re: #199 snowtravel

No, the last few decisions by the Supreme Court that have undermined the Administration's efforts to keep these detainees locked up and out of the civilian courts have done a great disservice to the nation.

This decision - by the very tribunals that the left seeks to eliminate altogether - did its duty and followed the law and facts - finding him guilty of some of the charges. Had it been a kangaroo court as the leftists claim, he would have been found guilty on all the charges.

The opposition to the Administration will undermine national security all at once (though they may try), but instead will do so through thousands of paper cuts.

Lawfare is the very distillation of this principle. Litigate, litigate, and litigate some more, granting terrorists captured on battlefields rights never before envisioned to be granted to such individuals. Purposefully misreading the Constitution and foreign law to extend those rights. And then finding judges who agree with those concepts.

The anti-US groups who continue to support folks like Hamdan will never be satisfied with the level of evidence proffered against them. Incontrovertible proof will be insufficient.

re: #92 alegrias

Thanks for the reminder, it was on my mind.

Tojo made us do it--though revisionist leftists blame us for Japan's atrocities against humanity at Pearl Harbor, China, and much of Asia & the Pacific.

I don't think there is a survivor of The Bataan Death March that think we did the wrong thing to Hiroshima. Seems that too many forget that.
Maybe they should dig up the book..........."But not in Shame", by Tolland.
I read that many years ago, and it still is a powerful book.

re: #209 Son of the Black Dog

You'd think they could fit a mushroom cloud in there somewhere!

2) They've turned him into a human-shaped silhouette... like a TARGET... which is a coded call for his assassination!

Speaking of which, I can't help but notice at my shooting range how some of the black folks who go there tend to use white silhouette targets. I never really have the heart to tell them; you know, I understand your discomfort at white people shooting at black human-shaped targets... but you know there really is no such thing as a white silhouette, right? If a white intruder pops into your bedroom at 3 am, he's not going to appear to you as a big white space in the dark, you know that, right?

re: #215 doriangrey
Did you catch NatGeo last night? Had a special about the Koran. Apparently the one the jihadis are using for their madness isn't close to what the original says. It was written in a type of shorthand and in a couple of places you could have up to thirty different interpretations of what the writer meant!

I could have sworn that early on in the search for her someone mentioned a new concrete patio having been poured somewhere. Never heard anything more after that. Or maybe I have it mixed up with another case.

Rush is comparing the Hilton response, to the BHO spokesman.

Hilton actually sounds intelligent.... I wonder how many takes it took?

re: #233 lori lane
Correct. Haven't heard anything else. The police spokesman on FNC this am wouldn't say squat.

Meanwhile, you've got someone who decided to build a "thrill ride" depicting a scene of a terrorist being waterboarded in Coney Island. I don't see the controversy here.

How exactly is this is different than the street theater shows by the anti-war leftists who regularly depict such scenes using real live people?

I had a neighbor in Hawaii who was a survivor of Bataan. Her son and daughter were too. The daughter was my best friends mom and she got polio in the camps and was crippled horribly.
This big Taitian woman weighed 80 lbs when she got out of the camp.
She wrote letters to congress, the president, the state government, and newspapers EVERY DAY concerning reparations, and the revision of history concerning the suffering of prisoners at the hands of the Japanese.

I think of her often

I agree. Like I said, necessary evil. But it was an awful thing, at the same time. 70,000 people killed instantly - men, women, kids; up to another 70,000 or so dead from burns or radiation by the end of 1945. Horrible stuff.
