The justices also rejected the government's argument that the Geneva Conventions regarding prisoners of war do not apply to those held at Guantanamo Bay.

President George W. Bush said he takes the ruling very seriously and would find a way to both respect the court's findings and protect the American people.

You're a sad, sad man.

That's all.

You're a sad, sad man.

That's all.

You've mistaken "sarcastic" for "sad."
I mean, really: Don't you even know darkly wittly biteling sarcasm when you see it.
I was aware that you americans are humor-impared, but I had no idea it had gotten so bad.
Someone get that man a rubber chicken and a whoopie cussion. He needs an imediate humor-filled enema.

This is exactly what I was referring to.

Wait, you aren't even American? Why stress about what we do here in the greatest nation on earth? You don't live here.

Also, I love how you try to have it both ways.

"The Supreme Court handed Bush the presidency! They're corrupt!"

And now

"Heh heh heh... looks like the Supreme Court turned on Bush."

This after he appoints two judges personally.

You're unbelievable.

Wait...sarge looses. "I'll nominate you for member ship in the Nazi party so you can be with more people who think like you do." This definitly applies as Godwins law. Thread over. Sarge looses

Frankly, I don't understand why you Americans stand for the sort of blatant abuse of human rights that is Gitmo; not to mention the erosion of your civil rights.

How soon Gitmo closes depends entierly on who the next president turns out to be.

If guilty, perhaps dump them into Yankee Stadium and make them all wear signs that say "I applaud 9/11".

Not all of us do. Why do you think nearly half of the voters in 04 tried to get him out of office? Right now though, we can't get him out unless he's impeached and found guilty. And the way the House and Senate is right now, it more than likely won't happen until the midterm elections, where all the House and a third of the Senate is up in the air. There is where Republicans could be kicked out of office and Dems could take their place. But that's months away, who knows what could happen between now and then.

Actualy, more than half the voters tried to get rid of Bush in 04, it's just that the Republicans and their buddies used every dirty trick in the book (and some that weren't in the book) to rig the vote.

I still don't understand why you all put up with this. Why aren't there ever-growing crowds gathered in downtown Washington conducting a peacefull protest and refusing to go home untill Bush resigns? I seem to recall this tactic working in the Ukraine a while back. Something about an Orange revolution. I was hopefull when Sindy Shehan (sorry, that's probaly not how you spell her name) tried, but for some reason that movement ran out of steam. What's the deal, America?

Actually, no. There was no rigging to that election. There were no stuffed ballot boxes. Bush won fair and square. The reason he won was because Kerry couldn't stick to a campaign platform. He filp-flopped back and forth. Had he stuck with one plan, he would have beat Bush.

Because he is a lame duck. Once the Midterm elections are done, Bush will be a lame duck president. He will have no power. Congress will not follow him because there is nothing riding on it. We don't need to protest, the government will do it for us.

The system has been repeatedly failing you for the last six years, what makes you think you can rely on that same system now?

Keep in mind that the ruling didn't make the entire Gitmo operation illegal, just that some of the military tribunals for Camp Delta detainees are illegal.

The sad part is that Bush and Co. can keep this whole mess tied up in the courts ad infinitum. As long as it's politicly expedient forthem to have prisoners they can poitn to and say "terrorist!" they'll find a way to do it.
But at least this ruling is a victory for freedom, even though it's a small one. Gives me hope that Bush will tossed out sooner rather than later. (Not much hope, but considering I had no hope of that before, it's a start.)

I'd rather not have Cheney as President.
