Judge tosses out most evidence on Gitmo detainee
From PublicOpinionOnline:
A federal judge has tossed out most of the government’s evidence against a tarrorism detainee on grounds his confessions were coerced, allegedly by U.S. forces, before he became a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay.
In a ruling this week, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan also said the government failed to establish that 23 statements the detainee made to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay were untainted by the earlier coerced statements made while he was held under harsh conditions in Afghanistan.
However, the judge said statements he made during two military administrative hearings at the U.S. detention center in Cuba, where he was assisted by a personal representative, were reliable and sufficient to justify holding the detainee.
Musa’ab Omar Al Madhwani allegedly engaged in a 2 1/2-hour firefight with Pakistani authorities before his capture in a Karachi apartment in 2002.
Doesn’t that just make you feel all warm inside ?
From Ace:
No surprise. Either the courts must accept — and bless as Constitutional — the extraordinary treatment due to these vile monsters, and thus bless such treatment for all criminal suspects in the United States (plainly a hateful conclusion), or they must toss out all the evidence against them and set terrorists free.
And he’s right. This is precisely why these motherfuckers have been kept out of the country. This is what happens when elected officials make decisions based on the way they think things should would as opposed to the way things actually do work.
And these are the morons who style themselves as being based in reality.

Reality is completely dependent on your point of view and how much you wish for it to be so, haven’t you heard? /sarc off
This will all end in tears and death. If we are lucky, there will be enough of us left to learn from the mistakes so we don’t repeat them for at least another couple decades.
And these are the same jack-offs who want to control every aspect of our lives, be it how/what we eat, what we drive, how we get our energy and what kind of medical treatment that they’ll allow us to receive…
It’s time for the Tree of Liberty to receive a long-overdue watering.
UT FIAT LIBERTAS
This time it will be watered with the blood of traitors and dumbasses who voted for that Marxist POS.
Let us look at this logically, shall we? They. Are. Not. American. Citizens. Therefore. They. Are. NOT. Granted. Constitutional. Rights.
Both comments prior to mine are absolutely correct. This will end badly. Or well, depending on your long term outlook.
Make that 3.

Though I hate to use generalizations,this case proves to be the exception proving the rule.
“Everybody with half a functioning brain knew this would be one of the possible outcomes if this POS was brought to a criminal court, vice a military tribunal. (The other options being the case would be summarily dismissed and he would walk – for much the same reason the evidence was tossed.
Or he would be done up “Soviet style”. A showplace trial that was anything but. Followed by a speedy hanging/firing squad/lethal injection. The problem with the last being this would be a mockery of our justice system and “the rule of law”. Even though the “bad guy” is taken care of, it is not done properly, therefor it is yet another excuse for the muzzies to get their knickers in a knot and try all that much harder to do their terrorist thing here.
I couldn’t agree more. That was the whole purpose of keeping them in Cuba. In a case like the underwear bomber, he hit US soil. He gets better treatment according to the constitution. Unfortunately they couldn’t kick him off the plane and let him hit US soil after a 10,000 foot fall.
Very good point, Fiveofclubs. I say we release all of the jihadists at Gitmo, over their countries at 20,000 feet without parachutes
Send them home, indeed. I like that high altitude delivery concept!
hmmmmm … HANO vice HALO. (High Altitude NO Opening *grin*)
