Bad For Detainees, Bad for Democracy, Bad For America, Bad for the World

I have been meaning to write about Tuesday's really B-A-D federal appeals court decision FOR Bush's terror kangaroo court system and against detainees. While I am NOT a constitutional lawyer, I have been back and forth over it today and before and I do not see that its tenets are limited exclusively to American citizens. And that's not even arguing the never-never-land of limbo Bush has put many of these folks into at Gitmo and in secret prisons the world over!

For those who don't know about Tuesday's disastrous decision, here's CNN's piece and with it, their point summary:

• Judges OK anti-terrorism provision barring detainees from civilian courts
• Foreigners held in U.S. normally have right to contest their detention
• Justice Department: Constitution doesn't protect foreign enemy combatants
• Ruling is all but certain to be appealed to the Supreme Court
