Obama Seeks Delay at Guantanamo Tribunals

In one of his first acts as President, Obama has asked military tribunals preparing to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the other 9/11 conspirators, as well as Omar Khadr, to suspend proceedings for 120 days so he can "review the military commissions process, generally, and the cases currently pending before military commissions, specifically." The request was passed through Secretary of Defense Gates.

Such a request may not be automatically granted by military judges, and not all defense attorneys may agree to such a suspension. But the move is a first step toward closing a detention facility and system of military trials that became a worldwide symbol of the Bush administration's war on terrorism and its unyielding attitude toward foreign and domestic critics.

The legal maneuver appears designed to provide the Obama administration time to refashion the prosecution system and potentially treat detainees as criminal defendants in federal court or have them face war-crimes charges in military courts-martial. It is also possible that the administration could re-form and relocate the military commissions before resuming trials.

Delay and late prosecution is one of the due process violations which have been alleged against the military commissions, especially by the N.Y. Times, the ACLU, and many Democratic congressfolk. Somehow I doubt they'll oppose this, since they all think that Obama is going to let these terrorists off the hook.

10 It's the first step in a general amnesty for all federal crimes. Obama is gonna to free the prisoners and all that you know. Part of the Messiah thing. Next step is commute everyone's sentence that is on death row. Just wait till his Justice Department brings suit to have all rpisons intergrated due to racism. Since that isn't possible we just won't arrest black people till the prsions are diverse enough.

UMM, "critics"? I WISH. Let's see... Letterman, Stewart, Rosie, Babs, Whoopi, the list goes ON AND ON. Are those the "domestic critics" we're talking about here? No... once again the "Liberal Media's(TM)" knack for EXAGGERATION is unprecedented. KSM flew commercial airliners, filled with people, into BUILDINGS on OUR soil. Over 3000 innocent Americans lost their lives that day. That's some HARSH criticism, asswipe.

Quite a sentence there.  We know who the foreign "critics" of the Bush Administration's war policies were.  Many of them are dead, running for their lives, or (currently) incarcerated in US-controlled facilities.  Interesting that a Washington Post reporter would denigrate a world-wide conflict between the West and Radical Islam as a Bush-instigated contretemps.

They are not CITIZENS, asshole - they are TERRORISTS wishing to do our country harm! They were grabbed on a field of battle - trying to kill American and allied troops! They were not in iniform, as required of combatants under the Geneva Convention - to which Iraq is not a signatory anyway.

38 Maybe we should give the Europeans what they want - we'll give them custody of everyone in Gitmo.  They'll languish in their prisons for years as their bureaucratic machinery decides what to do with them before finally releasing them.  They will quietly be absorbed by the thriving muslim communities that exist all over Europe and eventually return to acts of terror - but this time on European soil (they've been easier targets than the U.S. since 9/11 anyway...).

So begins the age of Obama - I hope that he does release them all (what he really wants to do anyway) because it will be political suicide - and he knows it.  So now he has to walk that tightrope of "dealing" with them w/o being "dealt" with himself.  He now has to implement what the courts have imposed upon him - no easy task.  The left gives us "wingers" a great opening for when O doesn't live up to the hype (and he won't, he knows it, hence the furious backpedalling and pleas for "patience") in 2010 an beyond when the foreign and domestic "reality" bites us all in the ass.

You see, even though I've been hammering Bush for the last 2 years about Gitmo, I never actually researched the subject - or had anyone else research it.

Yes, please don't act like the Supremes are some kind of infallible genuises. I give you Plessy v. Ferguson as one example of the fallibility of that august body. The worst thing the Founders did was fail to provide a mechanism by which the Great Robed Ones can be removed from their post.

No to mention, I don't recall anything in the Constitution stipulating that it applies to citizens of the world...

It is the U.S. Constitution, after all...

Personally, I think you should be thrilled they weren't merely subjected to battlefield interrogation and a bullet. They do not fight in uniform, under a flag, or for any recognized nation. They're pirates. Refer to your history (or the news, for that matter) to see how pirates are typically dealt with.

B Hussein doesn't want his daughters 'stuck' with a child but evidently approves of sticking them in Islman dress and the degrading treatment/beatings of females that comes with it.

88 So, Dave,
What should be done with the prisoners in Gitmo (after the ACLU provided blow jobs)?

Please allow me to introduce you to a concept which is obviously foreign to you, a remedy that is specifically mentioned numerous times in the constitution.

You see, there is this thing called a (repeat after me) "trial".  During which stuff is presented that people with triple digit IQ's call "evidence".

If people are actually guilty, evidence is presented and they go to jail, etc.  If evidence is lacking, they go free.

And believe it or not, our country went up against the foremost world power at the time over issues such as the rights of the accused to actual trials.  Instead of, you know, the government just accusing you of something and holding you indefinitely on just their say so.

So, between what the founding fathers established and people fought and died to defend, and winger macho posturing and horse shit, I'll take the former.

91

In 1942 two teams of German saboteurs landed in Florida and on Long Island; they were quickly captured, put on trial in a secret military court and six of the eight were electrocuted shortly after the guilty verdicts were handed out.  No appeals were allowed.  Two were sentenced to prison and deported before 1950. 

That is how we should deal with those creatures in Guantanamo.  The precedent has been set.

93 Assuming Dave is right for the moment, I have 2 questions...

If case law is clear, why just a delay? Though not trained in the law, I would suppose that following binding decisions should not require a 120-day waiting period.

What am I to think about a man, who in his first major action in office, acts in the interest of some of the biggest pieces of shit on the face of the planet? If this is priority A1 for this administration, I can't wait to see what's next.

106 the Gitmo rulings that have already occurred

Dave does have us on that point.  The Supremes have spoken, sort of, and since many believe that 5 unelected officials trump the other two branches, we do have to deal with it.  The various ruling have been contradictory and unhelpful, which really isn't surprising given they depended on Kennedy to make a majority.

Clearly, the Supremes were not happy with the Bush approach, but were not able to propose a method that would later meet their own scrutiny.  First they complained that Congress wasn't involved, hence the military tribunals, then they found that these were somehow lacking.

I'm at a bit of a loss since the Courts rulings are so ... unruly.  If we make adjustments to satisfy them today, they won't be enough tommorrow.

You're not exactly a neurosurgeon yourself.

The *Bush administration* attempted to set the rules to this half assed rodeo.  In an actual war, people are POW's, with specific rules as to when and where they can go back, treatment, etc.  But no, according to the Bush gang this is a war... except when it isn't.  And they're criminals... except where they're not.  So, they're in this alleged shadowland where they get *neither* the rights of the accused or POW's.  The Supreme Court has already called bullshit on this game.

109 Progressive Dave,
They are being put on trial with fancy lawyers,  judges and evidence and all.  To allow them to be put on trial in the U.S. court system would pretty much guarantee they would all go free or if all the evidence was presented in the fashion required by U.S. courts to but them in jail then our intelligence gathering techniques/programs would be revealed.  What if the defense attorney claimed his client wasn't taken into custody properly - well lets just pull the Navy SEAL's out of Afghanistan so they can spend the rest of their time as witnesses in court.  We would be in the position of simply just releasing them or allowing them to make a  mockery of our justice system.

They're still there. No leftard screams "Bring them home."

So when Unicorn McEthnoFart Changes™ the aim of closing Gitmo from first priority to "it's only a failure of policy if it's open fours years from now," he's only begun to redefine "success." If Gitmo is there in 2016, it will be a "tribute to the careful dispensation of justice which is a hallmark of the age of Lord Barry O'Guiltwhite."

Of course, being assigned *POW* status has it's own legal requirements that these jokers don't meet, not least is that was no formal declaration of war, right? Way to abdicate your responsibility, Congress. And then there's that pesky fact that, again, they do not fight for a recognized nation, in uniform, under a flag. This is uncharted territory, largely, in terms of military law, unless you hearken back to the Barbary pirates.

But, then, you guys don't want to do that, do you. That's an inconvenient historical/legal precedent. If there's a pretzel here, it's not like Bush was the only one spinning the dough. There's plenty of blame to go around.

165 Progressive Dave,
The Supreme Court didn't rule Gitmo as unlawful - it ruled that Congress was responsible for establishing a court to deal with the detainees.  And what specifically in the Geneva Convention is violated by Gitmo?  If you want to claim the prisoners as POW's then what problem to you have with Gitmo?

They admit the IRC.  The point is moot though, as they detainees are not signatories to the GC, which by its own terms, renders them outside its protections.

116 The Supremes have spoken, sort of, and since many believe that 5 unelected officials trump the other two branches,

They do when it comes to the interpretation and application of the law.  Balance of powers and all that.

It's right there in the constitution and everything.

------------

Sorry, Progressive Dave, but that most definitely isn't in the Constitution, or in the other founding documents.  The Supreme Court grabbed the power to be the final "decider" on constitutionality in Marbury v. Madison.  "Balance of Power" would mean, wouldn't it, that all three branches have an equal obligation to make decisions regarding constitutionality?  They did originally, but now they don't, because the S. Ct. has usurped that power.  Now the "balance" of power is all the S. Ct's way.  And not to the benefit of the US's war efforts.  A perfect example being the recent decision in the Hamdan case, where the Supremes, despite being specifically told by Congress that the Supremes had no jurisdiction over the issue (and Congress IS, explicitly in the Constitution, the body that decides the S. Ct's case jurisdiction), decided that they had jurisdiction and ruled anyway, and wrongly at that. 

You really should pull your head out of Andrew Sullivan's squeakhole for a while and try to see reality.  The sky is pink in your world because you're looking at someone's shredded rectum.

Posted by: Progressive Dave at January 21, 2009 11:36 AM (T67ZU)

191

In 1942 two teams of German saboteurs landed in Florida and on Long Island; they were quickly captured, put on trial in a secret military court and six of the eight were electrocuted shortly after the guilty verdicts were handed out.  No appeals were allowed.  Two were sentenced to prison and deported before 1950.


As I recall it, the two that were not executed were saved only by being slow getting out of their uniforms.  The other six were already in full civilian dress, but these two lucky fucks were still half in uniform.  Not in uniform?  You're a spy subject to summary execution.  In uniform?  You're a POW with all the rights thereto.  These goatshaggers in Afghanistan should be shot summarily.

203 Obama is the elected leader of this nation.  Yeah, it was a fairly narrow victory, having only a single percentage point better than Bush in 2004, even after spending 4 times as much as Mccain did, but Obama won.

His first move is to be soft on terror and waffle as though he isn't ready to lead.  Obama's voters knew he would be exactly like this.  Mccain's voters knew it too.  As did the millions of conservatives who didn't bother voting because the GOP didn't provide a decent candidate. 

that's democracy in action.  The USA has chosen to be soft on terror and waffle about with an unprepared leader.  While I hate it... it's something we have to get used to fighting if we're going to turn this around.  Thank goodness that hacks like Progressive Dave intend to blindly fight for anything Obama does, even if they don't understand it.  They are a constant reminder that we need to fight back, and that our opinions are actually pretty relevant (keeping conservatives home was Obama's campaign strategy from the beginning, and it's his strategy today with astroturfing).  Hacks like Dave will keep us charged up and aware that Obama has nothing but 'Bush sucks and Fuck you!' to say to us.

Face it, Mccain would have treated these people a lot better than Obama will.  Mccain was the true candidate for those who are opposed to waterboarding and things like that.  Obama is just being vague enough that you can pretend he's on your side while you fight your villian Dubya.  You're a dumbass to fall for it. 

And in a couple of years you will console yourself by thinking that at worst, the dems are slightly better than republicans... but you're wrong.  The Republicans would have ended Gitmo and waterboarding, and Mccain didn't fuck around not telling you exactly that.  The true human rights activist would have realized that some jackass like Obama who has never made a hard decision would be less a leader on torture than a man who was tortured for years as a result of a hard decision he made.

The fact that the exisiting administration decided to afford them any kind humanity is in their favor (I guess). Personally, I think they should have never left the theater of action, been interrogated by military intelligence, then executed forthwith.

By all existing "international law" and precedent, that is fully within the bounds of action. Any better treatment than that is more than they deserve.

After World War II, we convicted several Japanese soldiers
for waterboarding American and Allied prisoners of war. At the
trial of his captors, then-Lt. Chase J. Nielsen, one of the
1942 Army Air Forces officers who flew in the Doolittle Raid
and was captured by the Japanese, testified: "I was given
several types of torture. . . . I was given what they call
the water cure." He was asked what he felt when the Japanese
soldiers poured the water. "Well, I felt more or less like I
was drowning," he replied, "just gasping between life and death."

"Here's one for you to chew on: what was the official Afghan army uniform at the time of the invasion?"

So is it your contention that the spies we're discussing were actually members of an army?

Please, give us your reasoning, or provide documentation to the effect that they were in uniform, under a flag, fighting for a country.

Dave:  So, if 5 Supreme Court judges say something, THAT is the law?  Period.  What  purpose, really, is served by having the other two branches of government, other than the implementation of what those 5 unelected people say is the law? 

If 5 Supreme Court judges came out in a recent case and said that you can't suck cock any longer, would you just roll over for that, or would you consider it wrong, and decide that the dissent by Stevens on the issue might just have some merit?  But most importantly, would you obey that decision?

Drop that cock, man!  Definitely sucks to be you.

Sorry, the democrats are playing a game they've played for years... taking the easy and vague position while attacking as harshly as possible.  Dave has an absurd view of republicans and Obama's dissenters because he's been programmed to hate without hesitation or thought.  A swarm of Axelrod motivated blogs are teaching a greater swarm of morons like Dave to brownshirt and polarize and attempt to make Obama dissent into some kind of  shameful thing.

But Obama isn't even being coherent enough to dissent against.  We have no idea what he's going to do, and he's probably going to do nothing.

263 242 Hey, Tinian...

After World War II, we convicted several Japanese soldiers
for waterboarding American and Allied prisoners of war. At the
trial of his captors, then-Lt. Chase J. Nielsen, one of the
1942 Army Air Forces officers who flew in the Doolittle Raid
and was captured by the Japanese, testified: "I was given
several types of torture. . . . I was given what they call
the water cure." He was asked what he felt when the Japanese
soldiers poured the water. "Well, I felt more or less like I
was drowning," he replied, "just gasping between life and death."

You're welcome.

Posted by: Progressive Dave at January 21, 2009 11:54 AM (T67ZU)

It isn't relevant. The Americans who were tortured were lawful combatants, and therefore subject to the Geneva Convention. The Jihadists are unlawful combatants. We could summarily execute them all if we wished.

The transition has been ongoing for a long time now.  Obama could have made clear these places were closing months ago.

And if he's on record calling them unconstitutional, then he is obviously in violation of his oath of office and I think he should be impeached.  I'm not kidding.  It's one thing to say Bush is wrong about the constitution, but for Obama to act opposite to what Obama claims the constitution mandates is obviously a far worse thing.

Now is the time when the difficult issue of what to do with the Gitmo detainees will suddenly gain all sorts of nuance and understanding and patience will be the standard because Obama needs to consider how best to fix Bush's evil actions...or something like that.  It may take him 8-10 years but they trust he's on the job.

“AND DEFEND ALL ENEMIES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC”–The Oaf of Office

In the very first public act of his presidency, Barack Hussein Obama has chosen to preserve, protect and defend not Americans…but terrorists in Gitmo!

He only been in the White House one night–and he spent it staying up all night, worrying about the “Rights” of our enemies.

He’s asked the tribunals to suspend for 120 days so he can review procedures and possibly bring all these “defendants” to your area. Funny, but when Terry Schiavo needed the same consideration, it was ‘unconstitutional meddling with the courts’. But nothing’s too good for our little Gitmo princes.

No wonder they chanted his name on election night.

Posted by: Noel at January 21, 2009 12:46 PM (4gHqM)

285 Face it, Dave is right. It does suck to be us. Our new President wastes no time proving that on matters of national security, he is the punter-in-chief. The left, in the spirit of might makes right, holds that very liberal interpretations of GC, legal combatants, torture, etc. are objectively preferable because they have 5 black robes and we have 4. I would disagree, but it matters not when we don't have the robes.

They have the court, they have the legislature, and they have the President. Today's action on the part of the latter is not a national security decision or some principled stand for justice, but rather a rebuke of a former President designed to get maximum attention and praise from his sycophants. Of course, they also own the process now, and this 120 day time-out is a mere baby-step. Eventually, real choices must be made, and real consequences will follow. Love him or hate him, there were no Islamist attacks on the US in Bush's final 7.5 years. Obama will be judged by this standard on the decisions he makes. Hope he decides wisely, or it will suck to be him.

This initial delay is just to review the process and figure out what to do [this has not been a state secret, they could have done this already], after that there'll be another delay getting new procedures in place and moving people.

Oh, and where are they going to put these jerks? Nobody wants them. The only three countries who have said they will take them are Portugal, Ireland, and China. We can't send the ones to China because we all know what will happen and Ireland and Portugal are effectively dragging their heels on taking the ones they've agreed to with lots and lots of bureaucratic crap.

I guess maybe Obama was just kidding when he said this, while arguing against the Military Commissions Act:

"I have heard, for example, the argument that it should be military courts, and not Federal judges, who should make decisions on these detainees. I actually agree with that.

The problem is that the structure of the military proceedings has been poorly thought through. Indeed, the regulations that are supposed to be governing administrative hearings for these detainees, which should have been issued months ago, still haven't been issued. Instead, we have rushed through a bill that stands a good chance of being challenged once again in the Supreme Court."

The military tribunals have passed court review and proven to work just fine in Hamdan's case.  Why screw with something that works?

In regards to air travel your are right that it affects everyone. But the beautiful thing about this election is that the areas that will be hit are going to be solid blue states. So when NY, DC, LA, SF, and/or Chicago are smoldering ruins, it will be the people there that brought this on themselves.

43 And how many Gitmo detainees were picked up in Iraq, buttercup?
I'll give you a hint: it's same number as the number of actual positive accomplishments during Bush's time in office.

What is even your point? You're upset that Zarqawi was killed instead of being captured so he could be given a trial?

303 These prisoners are still considered innocent until proven guilty.  Why does it take 6 years + for the prosecutor to make the case?  According to Amnesty International, most of the detainees were sold to the Americans by the Pakistani gov.  Some were sold for $1,000. others for more.  This news aired last year in Canada, U.K., Italy but , of course, not in the States.  The Americans must remain uneducated so that it is easier for Washington to control its people.  These men are tribal men living in caves without electricity.  Do you truly believe that they had the logistic to mastermind such a big attack in New York?  As far as the self-proclaim architect of the attack Sheik Mohamed, he's been waterboarded, tortured etc. for so long, that he will admit to anything.  He's braindead.  This is a cover up.
