Good for him!

I have long felt that the military tribunals at Gitmo were one of the most shameful by-products of our country's reaction to 9/11. I find it disgraceful that we have left these people in limbo for three years without charging them with a crime or allowing them to consult attorneys. I think history will not look kindly on our treatment of these people, and in many respects I think the tribunals are even worse than the Japanese internment camps in WWII.

Ditto. It's nice to see we have judges who still respect our Constitution and the rule of law.
