The Obama administration is preparing new rules that would give hundreds of prisoners being held by the U.S. military in Afghanistan the right to challenge their detentions, according to published reports.
The guidelines would for the first time allow about 600 prisoners held at an American-run prison at the Bagram Air Base to call witnesses and submit evidence in their defense, The Washington Post and New York Times reported in stories Saturday on the Web.
Our president is being very even-handed about the war in Afghanistan. Help our side a little and help the enemy a little. This will work out just swell, I'm sure.
I guess President Obama really is ready to be king of the world.
