It is not only unconstitutional, it violates the treaty(imposed by the U.S. in 1903, later modified )with Cuba that stipulates its use as a naval supply station. There is no provision for it being used for a prison. Finally, a newspaper has published on the U.S. violation of the (illegal)treaty. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2007/04/22/MNGSLPAVUL1.DTL&type=politics "The 103-year-old agreement limits use of the Cuban territory to "coaling and naval purposes only," neither of which appears to cover the prison or tribunal operations. The agreement also expressly prohibits "commercial, industrial or other enterprise within said areas," but the U.S. base now sports a McDonald's, two Starbucks outlets, a Subway sandwich shop and other American concessions. Such breaches of the treaty render it voidable, the Council on Hemispheric Affairs stated in its report urging the U.S. government to cease its use of Guantanamo against the host country's wishes.

With friends like him, who needs Osamas? For a lawyer, he seemed strangely dead set against the balance of power laid out in the Constitution. He and a Republican Congress made a king out of Bush. They didn't ask anybody, they just did it. For this, there will be no forgiveness in history. For this, they will be seen as plotters and traitors. Truth has a certain indestructible element to it.

Sounds to me like bin Laden is courting the "No New Taxes" Repub base. Does that mean that if we cut taxes, we're doing exactly what bin Laden wants????? “To conclude,” bin Laden says, “I invite you to embrace Islam.” He goes on to say: “There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.”
