The US Supreme Court ruled that war tribunals are not legal regarding the detainees of Gitmo. This made things a real mess. What SCOTUS did not do is give any guidance either. So, if they can not be tried as prisoners of war, and they are not US citizens, and they are not protected by [...]

Nikhil Rao at Homeland Stupidity pens an excellent artivle on the health care debate. Basically, how free should the market be?
