Oops Redux

Reuters has the story that one of the 30 Guantanamo detainees reviewed so far (out of 585 currently held) has been found to be innocent. My first post here said that I hoped that wouldn’t happen, just so that holding these people for the last two years without any judicial review would be justified. Oops.

    I’m sure your reader Matt Murray will say that this is perfectable acceptable because anything goes (out the window) when you’re fighting (said breathlessly) enemies of freedom.

    Sigh. I’m hardly surprised any more when I hear that the U.S. is violating international conventions and standards of decency in yet another way.

    The main point, Ryan, is that the US almost never ratifies international conventions or treaties without expressing a boatload of “reservations” (granting themselves, er ourselves, exceptions).
