Habeas Schmabeas and a Kos Hit (!)

From a March "This American Life" (well worth a listen):

And one thing that’s just weird about Guantanamo is that in all of these years that it’s been going, why haven’t we seen more of these guys on radio or TV? Over 200 of them have been released, right? At our radio show this week we were talking about this, and we realized that NONE of us had ever heard or read any interview with any of these guys. And so today, you’re going to hear from two of those Guantanamo detainees who have been released and I believe that you are going to be surprised at what they’re like. And we’re also going to explain, once and for all, how it is that under these brand new government rules and procedures in this new war, somebody can be locked away, basically forever, even when the government’s own classified files say he is not a threat to America.

And thanks so much to mcjoan at Daily Kos for throwing up a post on the H.C.
