- Fascinating indeed.
Though I wince at the naming of Clarendon as a "henchman", to see this argument played out using such precedent will be, uh, entertaining.

Anywho, more seriously, what will this ruling mean, do you think? For most people G-Bay represents all that is ugly in the post-9/11 world, while others believe it's the USA's right for their defence against terrorism.

The collapse of the latter's argument could have some significant ramifications.

"The Founders of our nation created a Constitution dedicated to the protection of liberty, not one that turns a blind eye to indefinite detention without a meaningful opportunity to be heard." Let's bring back their show trials and gallows then.
