Judge Rejects Motion to Keep Bin Laden Driver Locked Up

The Wall Street Journal reports Judge Rejects Motion to Keep Bin Laden Driver Locked Up.

"A military judge rejected a Bush administration move to that could have kept Osama bin Laden's former driver locked up for an additional five years. In August, a military jury sentenced the former driver, Salim Hamdan, to just five months plus time served, rather than the 30 years prosecutors sought."

Here's the amazing part: "Although Mr. Hamdan's punishment is slated to end by January, the government maintains it may continue to detain him indefinitely thereafter, on grounds that he remains an "enemy combatant" who could take up arms against U.S. forces. The administration has not disclosed its plans for Mr. Hamdan."

This is what's wrong with the Bush administration.
