    Posthaste.

    cc Eric Holder.

    Ondelette:

    >"If there is the inevitable appeal for a stay by the Bush people, he may not be going anywhere until at least January. It's inhumane to keep him in isolation and deprivation (lights on 24 hours is a form of sensory/sleep deprivation) any longer."

    My hope is this ruling will, once again, at least put mush-mouth Mukasey in a very difficult position. (*Ondelette, I, too, hope some kind lawyer(s) can stop fighting evil and social injustice, qawking at the bleeding crowd, long enough to get these people some relief).

    bah.
