This Oughta Make You Feel Good
Lat paragraph of a story in tomorrow's New York Times about Sen. Warner's uncertainty on committing to military tribunal legislation for the Gitmo detainees:
The White House has considered military courts unpalatable because of the due process they afford. Officials there said Friday that they were generally against leaving the combatants to the military justice system, not only for its degree of due process but also for strict standards of evidence to which prosecutors are required to adhere.
In other words... there's just too much freedom in the justice system. We have to have EVIDENCE? And there's DUE PROCESS? Nah, can't have that. I mean, we know they're guilty, right?
All right, I'm backing away from the computer. Have a good weekend.
