Guantanamo has been a huge black eye for the US. These shams of trials seem to make us look more and more like a lawless circus. How dare we criticize other country's human rights records, when we avoid giving these people any rights.

The driver for Bin Laden is charged and going to trial. But if he is acquitted, I quote "The Bush administration says it can still hold him as an "unlawful enemy combatant," even if he is acquitted of the charges, until the "end of hostilities" in the war against terrorism declared by U.S. President George W. Bush."
And with our brilliant Attorney General Mukasey, following well in the footsteps of the person who shook the foundation of the AG position in his incompetence and blatant partisanship, John Ashcroft, wanting Congress to declare an indefinite war against such unnamed parties as we see fit to include in our pathetic charade, this circus will never end. Well, thats why we have elections. Lets get out there and vote.
