Kangaroo won't jump high enough
The Miami Herald reports:
The English language doesn't have words strong enough to describe the despicable absence of shame, empathy and respect for the rule of law. We are witnessing the institutionalization of sociopathy.
The Defense Department was mum Friday on the reasons for the abrupt removal of a Guantánamo war court judge . . . Military prosecutors had been pressing [the judge, Army Col. Peter Brownback III] to set a trial date, but he has repeatedly directed them first to satisfy defense requests for access to potential evidence. At a hearing earlier this month, he threatened to suspend the proceedings altogether unless the detention center provided records of [the prisoner's] confinement.
