"Lawful" Enemy Combatants?

Take a look at this article and this longer one about the 2 cases in Guantanamo that were thrown out yesterday: Marine Col. Dwight Sullivan said the dismissal of the Khadr case has "huge" impact because none of the detainees held at this isolated military base in southeast Cuba has been found to be an "unlawful" enemy combatant. "It is not just a technicality — it's the latest demonstration that this newest system just does not work," Sullivan told journalists. "It is a system of justice that does not comport with American values." oops... NRO weighs in here...sort of. Also, Jose Padilla (remember, this guy?) is finally getting a trial. Only 5 years of incarceration and interrogation (some of it "coercive")... Perhaps the wheels of justice still turn - albeit painfully slowly.
