Gitmo Prisoners to Lose Right to Hearing

What Wouldn't Jesus Do?
BackDoor Budget Amendment to Deny Gitmo Detainees' Rights



It astounds me that GWB and his right-wing minions can profess piety and morality, and ignore the most basic concepts of human justice. I'm thinking of the treatment of prisoners. Lately the administration has been fighting legislation that would ban torture, and they had an amendment slipped into the budget bill (which the Senate Republicans ok'd) to deny Gitmo detainees the right to a hearing that they won in a recent Supreme Court Decision.

I'm not a religious expert, but I think Jesus said visit the prisoners, not torture them and lock them in a hole without a trial.
