I read the story, thank you, and it's (and your) contention that the Gitmo myth is definitively debunked, and that "the status hearings are, in fact, fully comparable to the 'Article V' hearings required by the Geneva Conventions, in situations where those treaties apply, and are also fully consistent with the Supreme Court's 2004 decision in the Hamdi v. Rumsfeld case" just isn't accurate.
The fact is they were ruled illegal in the last court hearing. This notion that "In the end, courts will almost certainly affirm the legality of the Gitmo tribunals" is at best wishful thinking.
For a little balance, the other side of the debate, which, as of now, has the support of the US court.

So....now...you are saying the story is accurate.
