Government Asks For Delay in Guantánamo Military Commission Cases of 9/11 DefendantsThe government indicated today it would ask for a further delay in the Guantánamo military commissions cases of the defendants charged in the 9/11 attacks. The proceedings are currently scheduled to resume on Monday, September 21, and it will be up to the military judge whether or not to grant a requested delay. The government’s request would come on the heels of a petition filed by military defense lawyers on September 10 asking a federal court to halt the unconstitutional military commissions system. Several defendants in the Guantánamo military commissions are represented by military attorneys assisted by the John Adams Project, a joint effort by the ACLU and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers to provide support for the under-resourced military defense counsel in the Guantánamo military commissions.

Have you guys just lost all logic? Stop making evil look good and good look evil. Do you want to know what true torture really is? How about jumping out of the Twin Towers on 9/11. Whose side are you really on anyway? What comes around goes around and I would not want to be in your shoes.
