Glenn Greenwald visits the twisted minds of the Weekly Standard:

Joscelyn insists that -- even though they've never been charged with, let alone convicted of, anything -- these men are guilty, evil Terrorists. To make his case against them, he relies on Bush-era documents containing unproven, untested, and uncharged allegations. But what he dishonestly -- though understandably -- fails to note is that each of these individuals are available to appear in the ACLU video because they were released from Guantanamo by the Bush administration [. . .] If, as Joscelyn claims, the ACLU are Al Qaeda's "useful idiots" for producing a video containing interviews with these individuals, what are Bush officials who released them onto the streets?

(Emphasis supplied.) Straight from the Ed Meese School of Constitutional law:

[F]ormer Attorney General Edwin Meese III, [. . .] when asked whether “suspects” should have the right to have a lawyer present before police questioning, replied “Suspects who are innocent of a crime should. But the thing is you don’t have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That’s contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.”

(Emphasis supplied.) This is a decades long story for Republicans and conservatives. They have long believed in a police state.

Speaking for me only
