Pinko shysters

Ah, nothing to see here, says Herr Rot. It's just one of those Andy McCarthy extremist tirades. Whatever, dude.

Interesting piece. Raises a lot more questions than it answers. All the shit involving Holder is obviously day at the office in Obamaland. What the hell do you expect when you elect an anti-American to the presidency?

As to Gitmo prisoners having the right to private communications with their attorneys, that sounds pretty goddamned weird.

Why in the hell not put them in the county lockup if you're going to treat them like ordinary prisoners anyway?

As far as Amnesty International propaganda being let into a prison is concerned,... I am not sure that should bother me. Those assholes could dream up a hunger strike without seeing pictures of other rags in orange jumpsuits and some Arabic script claiming the whole war is about religion.

That's what those guys always thought anyway, and they've seen the jumpsuits.

That they go on a hunger strike should just please you and McCarthy. Weren't you worried about the money spent at Gitmo? So we save some this way.

Letting the creeps out is the main problem, as is having a 5th column like Paul, Weiss on US soil. The first is well-understood and the second is nothing compared to the fifth column's head being in the Oval Office.

You forget one thing: this is not just fun and games with pinko shysters feeding anti-American propaganda to detained enemy combatants, and agitating for their release. This kind of shit has consequences -- like the last two paragraphs hint at:

On Feb. 20, 2007, a post on the Paul, Weiss Web site proudly announced "Paul, Weiss achieves more victories for Guantanamo detainees." Two detainees were released from Gitmo to their home in Saudi Arabia. One was Majeed Abdullah Al Joudi, a recipient of the Amnesty International "report." The Web site needs an update. The Pentagon has identified Al Joudi as a "confirmed" recidivist who is "directly involved" with the facilitation of "terrorist activities."

Yousef Al Shehri, the detainee who led his cell block in the feeding tube rebellion, was also released in November 2007. In early 2009 he was listed on the Saudi Kingdom's list of 85 "most wanted" extremists. Yousef was killed last October during a shootout with Saudi security forces on his way to a martyrdom operation. He and another jihadist, disguised as women and wearing suicide vests, killed a security officer in the clash. Yousef's brother-in-law, Said Al Shehri, also released from Gitmo, is currently the second in command of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the branch that launched the Christmas Day airline attack last year.

I did get that far and mentioned it in my comment up here. The problem is letting them out. But that's up to a judge, not the attorneys, and the attorneys have to be able to speak.

But they don't _have to_ volunteer to kiss AQ butt, do they? Plainly, they were banging at the doors to ingratiate themselves with those guys, and incite them further to do their dastardly deeds--if that's possible. And that is disgusting, no matter how much shysteresque gobbledygook is used to obfuscate what's going on.

I don't ascribe motives to people. I think it is wrong. It could very well be that they thought W was trying to set up a regime and that they were the edge of the wedge in preventing that.
That kind of lawyerly activity would have been noble in plenty of other circumstances in history and these shyster idiots self-aggrandize like climate 'scientists' since they're kids.
I don't doubt that these creeps are reprehensible, but I do doubt that the government should do anything about them. Again, it's up to a judge or jury whether to let terrorists out on he loose and it is there where the failure has to lie.
Hiring these guys at DoJ is again not their fault. It's Obama's.
