The appeals court ruled that the Pentagon improperly designated Huzaifa Parhat, an ethnic Uighur Chinese national, an “enemy combatant” after being swept up by the U.S. military in Afghanistan in 2001 and then sent to Guantánamo Bay, where he has been held since…

…
DEREK STOFFEL, CBC HOST: Mr. Willett, what’s your client’s reaction to this ruling?

SABIN WILLETT (PARHAT’S LAWYER): Boy what a great question that is because my client doesn’t know about this ruling because I’m not allowed to tell him. […] He’s sitting in solitary confinement today. He has no idea what’s happened as far as I know.

We are the keepers of the gulag.

Another, “but us liberals already knew this” affair. The DOJ has been caught hiring based on the Republicaness and/or Jesusness of the candidate. They destroyed evidence when they had knowledge of the investigation. Y’know you kind of expect some corruption at high levels of law enforcement in places like those small Barney Fife towns, or the traditional Chicago style corruption in some big cities, but DOJ has been shockingly Alberto’d (slimed up) from top to bottom.

I promise, next year, we’ll all go straight. I’ll even put a wind turbine on my presidential library. But for now, give me one more pop from that drill, please, baby. Just one more transfusion of that sweet offshore crude.”

Sort of like this post, I just had to have one more suck off the glass Friedman pipe.

It took only 3 weeks for him to flop on this one.
And BTW our Governor Charlie Christ flopped also, right on cue. For those not from these parts, he has just signed his political death warrant. Nobody, Republican or Democrat has ever won on a pro drilling platform (punny;-). Even Jeb was a staunch no-drill guy, had to be, or else.
