Never, Ever, Ever Be Happy

Lady Justice is blind drunk and apparently dropped her blindfold.

So, DADT?  Repealed.

START?  Ratified.

Health care for 9/11 first responders? Passed.

But the Left, always looking for outrage the way Larry Craig looks for bathroom buddies, has now freaked out about another thing.

The Administration is coming up with a plan to deal with the 48 detainees in Gitmo who are unlikely ever to be released.

Now, the original plan was to try them in US courts whenever possible.  They wanted to try KSM in Manhattan.  But New York pols and Congress wet their pants and screamed, "ZOMG!!!11!!  NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

And that was that.

Obama was trying to make a SuperMax prison in Illinois to house Gitmo detainees.  More freak outs.  Frankly, life in a SuperMax is probably worse than life in Gitmo.

So, the new policy will allow detainees to review some of the evidence against them at regular intervals.

Now, this is not a policy that anyone particularly WANTS.  Obama and Holder wanted to try them in court.  Cheney wants to just shoot them in the face.

But once again, I'm having a hard time seeing what the alternative is.  Trials are out.  Releasing them is out.

So, you hold them, review the evidence against them.  Try and extradite them back to their own country when possible.

I honestly don't know what the options are.
