re: #1389 keithgabryelski

As I noted in post number 176: “The Supreme Court has ruled (this goes back to 1856), if the accused has been denied Due Process under the US Constitution — the remedy is Liberty.” And, if the detainees are to be given the same Constitutional rights afforded to Americans, then I see no other alternative but to have every one of the alleged terrorists set free.

How can it possibly be otherwise? The Sixth Amendment assures a speedy trial — it has been violated. The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment — it has been violated. Not to mention the failure to have attorneys present during interrogations; the failure to have their rights read to them upon detainment; the nullification of the presumption of innocence. Frankly, what civil right has not been grossly violated here?

The list is long. And, again, the only remedy is an immediate dismissal of all charges. I see no other credible alternative. (Unless, of course, Show Trials are US becomes an acceptable new “norm.”)
