DAMN! ISN’T THERE ANYONE WHO IS ABLE TO RID AMERICA OF JUDGES LIKE THIS?
Come On People.
Where’s this going? A courtroom with aclu representation? It could. Would you want to bet your house against it?
Isn’t there anyone who’s willing enough and trained and capable enough to rid us of these dupes of the left.
Then what? A law suit that favors the grizzly bearded fagots at US expense? I wouldn’t bet against that either.
Terrorist suspects held in Afghanistan can challenge detention in US civil courts
A US judge ruled on Thursday that terrorist suspects held at a military air base in Afghanistan can use US civilian courts to challenge their detentions.
By Alex Spillius in Washington
Last Updated: 6:46PM BST 02 Apr 2009US District Judge John Bates turned down the US government’s motion to deny the right to three foreign detainees at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
The decision followed a US Supreme Court ruling last year that said detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had the right to challenge their detentions in court.
The US government had argued that it did not apply to those in Afghanistan, but Mr Bates said the cases were essentially the same and quoted the Supreme Court ruling repeatedly in his judgment.
He wrote that the determination to hold them as enemy combatants is part of a process even more inadequate at Bagram than it is at Guantanamo.
Three detainees are from outside Afghanistan - Fadi al-Maqaleh of Yemen, Amin al-Bakri of Yemen and Redha al-Najar of Tunisia. Mr Bates reserved judgment on one detainee, Haji Wazir, because he is an Afghan citizen.
The judge’s decision will complicate the task facing President Barack Obama as he attempts to dismantle the punitive architecture of George W Bush’s war on terror.
The new president has vowed to close the controversial prison on Cuba by January next year and has tasked officials to determine what to do with the remaining 250 prisoners there.
So far his administration, like Mr Bush’s before it, has ignored the issue of Bagram, which has been used to detain Taliban fighters and al-Qaeda suspects since the early days of the US invasion of Afghanistan.
Despite his pledge on Guantanamo, critics have accused him of continuing some of the practices of the Bush era.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
