Because it feels good when I stop.

Reading this headline in the New York Times made me think that of course they're coming up with a new plan. They keep getting their asses kicked in court.

As the number of motions regarding the rights of the inmates grows, as the motions cover more and more of the inmates, and with the courts backing the legal process, the government position is ever more untenable. Add to this the fact that the government never actually tries to prosecute, instead preferring to let these supposedly dangerous terrorists back into the wild rather than face them in court, and the absolute boondoggle that is Guantanamo accelerates into farce.

Remind me how these detentions were supposed to reflect our principles and, therefore, to demonstrate to the world the clear choice between freedom and fear?
