This lawyer is an ass

It is generally said that the law is an ass when an absurd decision is made in court. But in the case of the Guantanamo Bay detainees, its John Bellinger, the State Department's top lawyer who is an ass. This fool said: "critics in the US and abroad had offered no credible alternatives for dealing with the dangerous individuals detained there". It is not up to us to provide you with alternatives. It was Bush's legal advisers who told him that he could ignore the law in his war against terror. This was bad advice. Now you have to do the right thing and release all those who have not been charged and put on trial in a court of law.
