"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Despite Age, Past Success, Detainees Denied Habeas
Submitted by Persona non grata on Sun, 2012-10-21 23:00
A federal judge showed no mercy Friday to three Bagram detainees who lost habeas relief on appeal, or one who claims to have been captured at age 14.
Yemeni citizens Fadi al Maqaleh and Amin Al Bakri, and Tunisian Redha al-Najar, were captured outside Afghanistan and have been detained without charge or trial as "unlawful enemy combatants" for more than eight years. They are being held at the U.S.-occupied Bagram Theater Internment Facility on Afghanistan's largest military facility, the Bagram Airfield Military Base.
