Speaking of Afghanistan, more on the Bagram detainees

when i see more and more of this kind of shit coming out, i have to ask myself, why the hell did i ever bother to vote for obama... why didn't i just sit it out... at least i wouldn't be feeling so damn betrayed...

here's more on what i posted on last week...

Obama Follows Bush Policy on Detainee Access to Courts

The Obama administration yesterday appealed a judge's decision granting three detainees at a U.S. military prison in Afghanistan the right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts, arguing partly that compliance would inhibit the future capture of Pakistani citizens for detention by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

The appeal makes clear that, despite the ruling this month by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, the Obama administration for now wants to stick with a policy set by President George W. Bush that those incarcerated by U.S. troops in foreign prisons have no U.S. legal rights.

this sucks...
