If Judge Leon -- of all judges -- ruled that there was no credible evidence to suggest that these detainees are "enemy combatants," that is as compelling a sign as one can imagine that there is none.
I know why you wrote this, but I am really tired of the implicit inference that if the judge had been appointed by a Clinton or a Carter the ruling can only mean that the ruling was politically motivated.
That could be on the top ten list of the worst things the right wing has done to us. Every sensible statement must have a "no political bias" prophylactic which ends up doing nothing to forestall the right wing whining about bias against them.
