Pentagon shamefully backed away from the very reasonable condemnation of the US law firms representing Guantanamo detainees. American lawyers undo the injustices inflicted by the American soldiers who fight and die in Afghanistan. Only a handful out of the thousands of detainees was rendered from Afghanistan to Guantanamo; they are not a random crowd. Many of them are not guilty beyond the basic affiliation with Taliban, but guilt of others could not be proven. What evidence of terrorist activity, acceptable in the court of law, could be found in Afghanistan? In the absence of documents or wiretaps, evidence is reduced to testimonies of dubious witnesses.

The image of selfless American attorneys - people of great moral integrity - engaged in pro bono defense of Afghan peasants is hilarious. In the pro bono affair, leftist lawyers sabotage the American war effort, and other attorneys shamelessly use it for self-promotion.

Some Americans are self-loathing and wish for defeat. For instance 5 black robed oligarchs(USSC),for the first time in US history, said that unlawful enemy combatants — that is, terrorists who themselves refuse to comply with the rules of law — have a legal right to access federal civilian courts and can file habeas corpus petitions there(H v.R) !

And the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), which was co-founded by the radical attorneys William Kuntsler and Arthur Kinoy,filed an amicus in Hamdi v Rumsfeld. And organized a group of 140 law professors and 19 public interest organizations on the terrorist`s behalf.
