Under the Bush regime, it has established kangaroo courts called military tribunals rubber stamped by a then Republican controlled Congress.  The entire Military Commissions Act with its kangaroo courts and denial of habeas corpus must be repealed.

 

This trampling of the Constitution by the president and his administration is the mark of an imperialist, totalitarian, anti-American, anti-constitution, anti-human rights, anti-rule of law government that is the antithesis of what this country stands for.

 

Americans should be appalled at what this administration and its flunkies and supporters have done to this country spitting on what its founders and constitutional framers valued.

 

From ThinkProgress: "Yesterday, a military jury began deliberations in the trial of Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's former driver, on whether Hamdan conspired with al Qaeda in terrorist attacks. The trial is the first U.S. military commission since World War II. In a Pentagon press briefing today, spokesperson Geoff Morrell said the U.S. will detain Hamdan regardless of the verdict:

MORRELL: Even if he were acquitted of the charges that are before him, he would still be considered an enemy combatant and therefore would continue to be subject to continued detention. Of course, that said, he would also have the opportunity to go before the administrative review board and they could determine whether he is a suitable candidate for release or transfer.

But in the near term, at least, we would consider him an enemy combatant and still a danger and would likely still be detained for some period of time thereafter.

"NPR's John McChesney said Hamdan could remain behind bars at Guantanamo for an "indefinite time" after an acquittal. He added that "Hamdan will not get a single day" off his detention for the seven years that he has been held at Guantanamo."

So, even if bin Laden's former driver, Salim Hamdan, who was found guilty on one of two charges, had been acquitted on both, he would not have been released by the Bush politicized Pehtagon' s kangaroo court.  

As Thom Hartmann mentioned today on the radio, if George W. Bush was charged with war crimes, would his Secret Service drivers sit in the dock at The Hague accused of providing support for those war crmes?

The Bushite inmates are running the asylum and damaging this country.  Yet, impeachment is still off the table.
