Hamdan Eligible For Release in 5 Months

By Big Tent Democrat

ADVERTISEMENTS

Do you get the feeling BushCo wants the Hamdan case to just go away? This news should fuel that view:

A military jury gave Osama bin Laden's driver a stunningly lenient sentence on Thursday, making him eligible for release in just five months despite the prosecutors' request for a sentence tough enough to frighten terrorists around the globe. Salim Hamdan's sentence of 5 1/2 years, including five years and a month already served at Guantanamo Bay, fell far short of the 30 years to life that prosecutors wanted. It now goes for mandatory review to a Pentagon official who can shorten the sentence but not extend it.

Here is an issue:

It remains unclear what will happen to Hamdan once his sentence is served, since the U.S. military has said it won't release anyone who still represents a threat.

George Bush won't be President then. Hamdan will be released imo. And the dirty truths will be swept under the rug.
