GTMO crap

Yahoo reports that [Military] Judge dismisses charges [without prejudice] against detainee.  The new report indicates:

The judge, Army Col. Peter Brownback, said he had no choice but to throw the Khadr case out because he had been classified as an "enemy combatant" by a military panel years earlier — and not as an "alien unlawful enemy combatant."

But, I would urge that people inform themselves of the status of all this stuff before drawing any conclusions, and before writing about them.  It concludes by quoting an esteemed member of the blogosphere, Dwight Sullivan:

Under the new war-crimes trial system, the prosecution has 72 hours to appeal, but the court designated to hear the appeal — known as the court of military commissions review — doesn't even exist, Sullivan noted.

Anyway, this is going to open up yet another chapter in the habeas proceedings!  You would think that Congress would have thought about this in their zeal to limit judicial review.
