The AP is reporting that a military judge has thrown out terrorism charges against Omar Khadr, a detainee at Guantanamo.

That's a serious blow to Bush's whole war-crimes trial system that he's put up by itself.

However, what may be more stunning is that this ruling could throw out THE ENTIRE WAR-CRIMES TRIAL SYSTEM. And how? Because a technicality which appears to have been caused by the Bush Administration itself.

Get it? They create a system which ignores international human rights and American system of laws, but then they screw up that whole screwed up system with a screw up!!


The crux of the matter is that Khadr, like every other detainee at Gitmo, is not classified as an "alien unlawful enemy combatant" - which is the basis for Bush's war trial system.
