To Show They Can

Obviously there's no good reason to send people to Gitmo - there never was - but I expect this will get less fretting from our elite opinion havers than it did post-9/11. At least then they pretended they were super-terrorists. These days people barely bother to come up with reasons, and our elite opinion havers barely bother to pretend to care with weepy THIS ISN'T WHO WE ARE, HOWEVER pieces.

Feb 9 (Reuters) - A federal judge in New Mexico on Sunday granted a preemptive restraining order to block the U.S. government from sending three Venezuelan men detained in the state from being sent to a military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Judge Kenneth Gonzales of the Federal District Court for New Mexico said during a video conference hearing that he was granting the order, said Baher Azmy, a lawyer for the men.

Good for the judge who had to be quick, because in Gitmo there's no access to a judge! FREEDOM!
