From the lawyers' website:

Adel Hamad was a teacher of elementary school orphans, a hospital worker, and someone who coordinated the delivery of food, medicine and blankets to refugees. He has been imprisoned for 5 years and classified as an enemy combatant, despite the lack of any allegations or evidence that he ever acted against the U.S. or its allies, or even had political sympathies for those who did. His friends and colleagues describe him as a funny, apolitical man who loved charity work and ping-pong. One of the U.S. Army Majors at his Tribunal called his detention unconscionable.

Alright . . .so it may be a stretch to say that it made me 'happy'. But the public needs to see this kind of thing.

It shows the practical consequences of the suspension of habeas corpus and demonstrates very emphatically why it is dangerous to place due process powers in the hands of an unchecked President.

And to those Bush lovers, I know that to make an Islamofascist omelet, you have to break a few innocent and wrongfully detained Muslims along the way.
But you cannot be a lover of freedom and fascism at the same time. And you cannot give a single person the power to define what is criminal and permit the executive to make that decision without review. Unfortunately, the US has done just that for foreign detainees.

Islamofascist Vs. Iesufascist
Winner gets the oil AND the blessings of the god of Abraham.

Butchering of Habeas Corpus, is just one step in the governments way of taking our rights away. I would vote for the next president to reinstate Habeas Corpus, because we should do as we would want to be treated even though they attack us. For some reason the U.S. majority thinks that its alright to attack a country, just because we are big and strong.

Sun Tzu states: Just because ones country is rich and prosperous, and militarily powerful it should not attack other countries because of these traits.

I do not understand how people can think that because the government says we should go to war, and feeds false intelligence to us that its still alright to go to war.

When our for fathers writ Habeas Corpus, they thought it was concrete. Fathers always seem to try and do the best for their children, in this i think we should listen.

If it's not ratified it will come and bite the US in the ass later. Imagine if a hostage situation occurs with embassy staff?

From this video, we learned...not much. No way to tell what he might've done in his spare time to aid islamofascists, despite his glowing record of service.

For the sake of argument, let's assume he's innocent. The wrong people get locked up every day. This guy isn't being tortured like an infidel would be in sandland; his head remains attached to his neck.

I don't give a damn about this guy, and most people who watch this won't either. He doesn't have the protection of U.S. law because he's not a U.S. citizen.

He's unlucky, yes, but he'll live, which is more than we can say for us if sharia replaces Western law.

For the sake of argument, let's assume he is innocent?

Do you have some access to any evidence of guilt? Oh yeah, he is brown and an Arab so he just has to be guilty of something. I guess 'the presumption of innocence' only applies in a system of laws.

qm - Would you defend the same kind of unchecked executive power if Bill Clinton was still President? Or Al Sharpton? Or Eugene McCarthy? Or is your view of the current detention powers of the U.S. Government faith-based?
