- Supreme Court blocks Bush, Gitmo war trials
  Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!
  The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees. The ruling, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and international Geneva conventions.

  An Army document proves that Guantanamo interrogators were taught by instructors from a military school that trains U.S. soldiers how to resist torture.

- The Road to Guantanamo, reviewed.
  Posted by Billbar from Slate
  'The Road to Guantanamo', Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross' half-feature film, half-documentary, turns an abstract debate about human rights and the Geneva Conventions into a visceral experience of lived injustice.

- Defense seeks to move Gitmo trials to U.S.
  Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!
  A military defense lawyer asked the Pentagon on Wednesday to move the trial for an alleged bodyguard of Osama bin Laden to the U.S., saying difficult access for witnesses and the media make it impossible to hold it fairly at Guantanamo Bay. "They are making it difficult on purpose for the media to attend these trials and it's not right," said Fleener, who filed a change of venue motion with the Office of Military Commissions.

- Three GITMO detainees commit suicide
  Posted by Billbar from Boston Globe
  "The detainees we have here are dangerous men, committed to killing Americans on the battlefield," Guantanamo prison commander, Rear Admiral Harry Harris said. "They are smart. They are creative. They are committed. They have no regard for life -- either ours or their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but rather was an act of asymmetric warfare waged against us."

Scalia, Alito and Thomas voted against. Roberts recused himself. These 3 men don't even know right from wrong anymore.
