The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Guantanamo tribunals are illegal, which is basically a slap in the face of the Bush administration, as none of the inmates can be tried there now.........so now that American justice has as good as declared Guantanamo illegal (although they havent come out and said it it's sort of implict....) how close are we to seeing the place shutdown?

They should have charged them through the usual channels- or even better, not have kidnapped them and taken them illegally to a purpose-built concentration camp thousands of miles away in the first place.
I just hope this motion in the Supreme Court is a step in the right direction much like those taken in the 70's.
It was very heartening to see the silent majority finally standing up and making their voice heard- even though it meant brutal police beatings, accusations of communism, expulsions from university and being labelled as 'traitors'.
(Other than the police beatings and expulsions from Uni there are a lot of similarities with the situation in current-day America wouldn't you say).
It made me sad that most of the policemen involved in the university beatings were unrepentant and as close-minded idiots as before.
Though very refreshing that almost all Vietnam veterans featured were highly critical of the US government. And why shouldn't be? They were as screwed by their government as the Vietnamese victims of the war.
if only, it is a step back to americas plans but it'll still be open for years yet
