Judge Orders Notorious Terrorist Freed From Gitmo

by Thomas Joscelyn - March 23rd, 2010 - The Weekly Standard

According to the Wall Street Journal, a district judge has ordered Mohamedou Slahi – a known al Qaeda recruiter who worked for Osama bin Laden – freed from Guantanamo. The Journal’s account does not explain the judge’s reasoning and the decision was not immediately available online. But the decision is inexplicable in light of Slahi’s notorious track record. There is no doubt that Mohamedou Slahi is one of the worst terrorists held at Gitmo.

If there was any doubt that progressive judges are waging war against America, this action should be adequate proof. Since Justice Robert H. Jackson coined the phrase, judges have worked to assure that decisions were not inherently anti-American. This one is. It is an insane ruling.
