Abu Wabu

I can't say that I ever saw the explicit need to describe captured non-uniformed terrorist asshole enemy combatants as "illegal", since any non-uniformed terrorist asshole enemy combatant is "illegal" under the Geneva Conventions. That's essentially what this ruling says in admonishing Judge Brownback and, of course, what this blog has said all along. But whatever: go ahead and make the obvious redundantly so. Bounce the rubble, if you will.

The first candidate for trial could be Omar Khadr. Good.

There will be other appeals, some perhaps even based on the jag-off leftist fantasy that being captured by American Marines whilst committing atrocities against Geneva automatically confers upon the captive the full range of American Constitutional rights, because to not do so makes us Worse Than The Terrorists™.

For today at least, sanity wins and idiots will cry.
