| #1 I think the answer is going to be, they can be as securely guarded on U.S. soil as anywhere else," Tribe said. Well now, Mr. Hahvahd Law Perfesser, I'm a little confused about that. Where is this facility going to be? I hope the answer is, right across the street from Harvard Law School, 'cause I sure don't want these boys anywhere near my family, just in case the presumption of innocence turns out to be unwarranted for any one of them. And who is going to be doing the guarding? Posse Comitatus means, I think, that you can't let the Marines do it at least without further legislation, and is it fair to ask any civilian employee of the gummint -- federal marshalls, federal protective service, whatever-- to assume a front-line role in the War on Terror? And if you do all this for the poor lost lambs at Gitmo, isn't the next shoe going to be doing the same thing for the detainees at Bagram? |
