A Federal appellate court was not amused when the jailers from the Bush Administration, to support a military commission finding of "yeah, this guy is dangerous," produced three documents that all quoted the same source. The court quoted a Lewis Carrol poem in their smackdown of the Tsar of the Baboons:
From The Hunting of the Snark: "I have said it thrice: What I tell you three times is true."
The Federal court said that repeating an allegation does not make it anymore true and they directed the Bush Administration to either do the detainee hearing fairly, release the guy, or transfer him to another nation. They also seemed to be less than impressed that the Bush Administration was relying on the Chinese government for some of its information.
The legal underpinning for GITMO is a foundation made of quicksand.
