He has 4 months and 22 days remaining to serve, according to one article I read. According to an article I read yesterday, he also has excellent grounds for appeal, since, among other reasons, the crimes he ended up being convicted of were not war crimes, and thus outside the jurisdiction of the military tribunal. Assuming no appeal, it will be interesting to see what happens when his sentence is up. If he is detained, it sends a message to the rest of the world that our justice system lacks justice. If he is released, it's another (much needed, IMO) blow to executive power.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

chuteless 1 #6 August 8, 2008 If the US had found Bin Laden's cook, how long do you think they would have sentenced him to??? That trial was a precursor for Omar Kadr's charade trial soon to come. They go through all these motions to try to substantiate their right to invade other countries, and Madeliene Albright makes a deal with Karadizic to go into hiding and the US won't look for him for prosecution. The USA is a two faced nation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #9 August 8, 2008 QuoteWhat do you want done with him? Release him once he's served his sentence. To be honest though, I think that'll happen fairly soon after he completes it, even if it takes a habeas corpus challenge. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

So they intend to continue to hold him indefinitely after he's served his sentence. What exactly was the purpose of the trial? He's got about six more months to serve. By then a new administration will be running the show in Washington - and at the Pentagon. If the Dems are running things, he'll be a free man. But even if McCain is elected, the stink and outcry will be so great that he'll be freed soon. Most interesting of all is that the Military Judge at the head of the tribunal rebuked the government for even bringing the conspiracy charges, then told Mr. Hamdan that he (the judge) hoped Mr. Hamdan would soon be re-united with his family in Yemen. And this judge then returned Hamdan's "Inshallah" reply to him. You getting any signals out of this ? I sure am. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
