Jump To Comment: 1hmmmmmmm., if you pay bounty for your prisoner is the amount & the tort admissable as evidence? OR would that be making it all too much of a farce?
There are now 275 people held at Gitmo delta facility with names & families. Believe it or not it is possible to buy culprits in this world, it's easier than kidneys though if tailor suited to your requirements & the culprit ought die (or be executed) it can be as difficult as extracting hydroxin & helium 4 from hybrid bacteria in zero gravity.
Say no more.
Flumoxed the lot of ye.
The Bush administration appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday in an effort to limit the information it must provide when Guantanamo Bay prisoners challenge their continued captivity.
Administration lawyers appealed a ruling by a federal appeals court that would require the U.S. government to turn over virtually all its information on many detainees as part of the legal review.
The administration argued that it should be required to provide to the appeals court and to defense lawyers only the evidence that had been presented to the military tribunal that designated the prisoner an enemy combatant.
....."There are about 275 detainees at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, which was set up in January of 2002 to handle prisoners captured by the United States following the September 11 attacks. Most of the prisoners have been held for years without being charged and many have complained of abuse. President George W. Bush has acknowledged the prison's damage to the U.S. image and said he would like to see it closed eventually. More than 180 of the prisoners have filed challenges with the U.S. appeals court in Washington to the decisions by the military tribunals that they have been properly held as enemy combatants. They can bring the challenges under a 2005 U.S. law called the Detainee Treatment Act. The administration filed the appeal as the Supreme Court considers two separate cases on whether the Guantanamo prisoners have the right to have U.S. federal judges hear their challenges to their confinement.
Administration lawyers said the new appeal should be held for a decision in the other two cases and then it can be appropriately disposed of by the Supreme Court in light of that decision......"

The US Senate has voted to bar the CIA from using harsh interrogation techniques such as simulated drowning, widely known as water-boarding. The ban was contained in a broader intelligence bill that passed 51-45.
which is jolly good news for the GITMO prisoners I'm sure you'll agree. I'm sure the broader intelligence bill had lots of jolly good news for the CIA too. But we're not allowed know. Not because we're not members of the international community, but because it's secret and its secrecy is a matter of national security to the USA. If you knew what was voted in the black clauses of that bill (like how much budget the people get to pay those bounties and run the tech) the USA would be put at peril. This is of course where Dr Magneto the author of this article went wrong. You don't need to provoke a mutant war, & you don't need to go all show-off rescuing baldy kids from Alcatraz. You simply have to work at their secrets. The sinister ones. Don't stop guessing.
