“>Judge upholds detainee rights terror law
A federal judge upheld the Bush administration’s new terrorism law Wednesday, agreeing that Guantanamo Bay detainees do not have the right to challenge their imprisonment in U.S. courts.
Just because we can withhold their day in court, I don’t think we should. It seems to me that we have more to gain by demonstrating to the world our respect for justice than persecuting these folks just because we can. If the problem is that tactical secrets might be compromised by presenting our government’s case then I would prefer we make the effort to find a compromise.
I’d hate for us to miss the bigger picture of winning back the hearts and minds of our potential friends around the world.
