Appeals Court mocks Gitmo 'evidence' as nonsense
via Daily Kos by smintheus on July 02, 2008
A panel of the Appeals Court in the DC Circuit on Monday released the first ever ruling on a habeas habeas-like review for a Guantanamo prisoner under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (PDF).

Return of Nixon's Secret Plan to Win the War
via Daily Kos by smintheus on January 30, 2008
