Washington- The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected three appeals by Guantanamo detainees protesting their indefinite detention.
The US high court took no action on any of the three appeals, including one filed by ethnic Uighur Chinese Muslims who were arrested in error in Afghanistan in 2001, and are still being held at the US military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The three appeals asserted, among other complaints, that the inmates' rights to challenge their detention had been violated and maintained that the indefinite detentions violated international rights law.
Expecting otherwise is like waiting for a police commission investigating a shooting by one of their own, to find their 'man' was at fault and thereby, themselves responsible for damages. Just won't happen... unless... we reach that part of the script that calls for the 'rug being pulled out from under us", which can be done in so many ways, but to allow the police state to show error is something beyond my imagination at present, though it would be interesting in unsettling the little PTBs, who are mostly disposable anyway, same as their victims are considered to be. 'As above, so below' don't ya know.
