Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

STAR CHAMBER REDUX
"ASIF Iqbal, a British citizen, traveled to Pakistan in September 2001, planning to marry in the village where his father still lived. Before he could wed, he was captured. By whom is unclear. He wound up at the US camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he has been living in a cell for 22 months. Like the other 650 men and boys there, Iqbal has no idea when, if ever, he will be charged with a crime, taken to court, or set free. He has no way to tell his side of the story to anyone except his jailers, much less prove innocence to a judge. This is exactly as it should be, the Bush administration says. These people have terrorist ties or were on the wrong side in the war in Afghanistan and are ineligible for the protections that international law provides, the White House maintains."
