It seems only ONE judge has "called" their imprisonment unlawful.
So? It was the highest court to review the case. How many judges need to say something is illegal until it actually is?
Point being, I dont see anything about a "ruling" on this one, only a judge "calling" it illegal. Therefore, who gives a crap what the judge thinks, show me the ruling. Not to mention the fact that detanees at Guantanamo do not have the same rights as Americans.
Well then maybe you should go read up on the case before sticking your foot in your mouth. Why is it so hard to research the topic you are writing about before you do it?
The judge DID rule on it and determined the detention to be illegal but said that the court was unable to provide relief. In fact, it was probably if anything excessive judicial restraint, not activism. Of course you would know that if you spent even five minutes learning about the subject before you wrote something dumb.
Here, I did the legwork for you. Thank me later. Text
