As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

If Britain did this to Derry or Dublin as a collective punishment for IRA bombs, or Spain did this to Barcelona for the acts of ETA, you’d imagine there would be universal outrage. Yet Israel’s leveling of Gaza and its civilian population is rationalized as legitimate and proportionate? #speirgorm

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Do something good for yourself. Cuddle a puppy. Smell the roses. Hug a tree. Get your PhD in Morris Dancing. Draw a picture of the smell of fresh-mown grass. Make a unicorn by taping a horn onto a horse's head. Sing a song about the odor of earth after a sun shower. Eat a rainbow.
