Court blocks release of Gitmo inmates

The right-wing ogre contingent that dominates the Republican Party can't go a day without getting their way, I guess.

After a federal district judge ruled that 17 detainees at the Guantanamo Bay torture center had to be released because the government couldn't prove the men posed a threat, the Bush regime asked a federal appeals court to block the release.

The appeals court complied by issuing a temporary "emergency" order blocking the men from being freed - thus giving the Bush regime time to prepare an appeal of the district judge's order.

Leave it to Bush to waste taxpayers' money on this shit when the government can't even prove its own fucking case. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If the detainees pose a threat, it's up to the government to prove it. That's supposed to be one of the most enduring legal doctrines in our system.

Does anyone still doubt the Decider's machine operates with almost no constraints, even as he ambles to the exit curtain like he's got 40 pounds of poo-poo in his trousers?
