Send in the Clowns

Great article, as usual, from R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. in the The American Spectator --

Our war against terror is in trouble now. Lawyers from some of our most prestigious law firms are trundling down to Guantanamo Bay to represent detainees.

If any group in America can bring a project to foozle it would be a group of American lawyers intent on humanitarian service. It is only a matter of time before a new Ramsey Clark Jr. emerges to fill American courts with bogus legal charges to stoke international anti-Americanism.

Then accomplished poseurs such as the Clintons and Jean-Francois Kerry can chirp up about how the whole world is increasingly hostile to us. They will, of course, urge the Bush Administration to Washington heed the concerns of 'the world community.'

That's what we need, US lawyers representing non-citizens in US courts. When they go to Guantanamo, what right does the military have to just tell them to f*** off? Gitmo is a MILITARY BASE. If these legal stiffs are not authorized to be there, drop them in the Caribbean!
