A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Bush administration to immediately release 17 Chinese Muslims who have been held for seven years at Guantánamo Bay, and to allow them to stay in the United States, because they are no longer considered enemy combatants.WHAT????
The ruling, handed down by Federal District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina, marked the first time that any United States court rejected government arguments and ordered the release of detainees from Guantánamo Bay, an American naval base in Cuba, since the detention center there opened in 2002.
Judge Urbina said that the detention of the 17 prisoners — members of the Uighur ethnic group, a restive Muslim minority in western China — was unlawful, noting that the Constitution prohibits indefinite imprisonment without charges.

Allowing Terrorists Loose In America simply because they were not convicted of being terrorists, even though clearly they had to be terrorists because they were in GitMo....
Ah yes....
Makes one wonder what it means to the ProWarCrowd when they have to deal with more cases of folks who were not as clearly terrorist as the religious dogma would demand....
But I guess when it comes down to respecting law in america, who knows, maybe the ProWarCrowd should take some time to learn the basics....
You know, like the actual american law stuff...
What is that technical word used when you take people from one place, by force, for no apparent reason????
Wonder if it should be construed as a crime???
