re: #437 lawhawk

Moreover, the trial of enemy combatants such as these could be handled completely outside the legal system via the military tribunals under existing law; the Administration’s choice is a curiously political one.

Nothing curious about it - these SOB’s are laying the groundwork for others in the legal and “justice” community to go after interrogators and others, with a view to going after the previous administration for its “crimes.” In the political context, not that extraordinary at all, and certainly not unheard of.
