A conversation on the week's news in Canada from our Canadian correspondent, Vaughn Palmer, political correspondent for the Vancouver Sun. In 2006 Mahvish Rukhsana Khan did a Google search. It started a chain of events that led her to be an interpreter for Afghan detainees at the Guantanamo Detention Center. She was one of the few people allowed inside Guantanamo, and listened to stories from the men labeled enemy combatants. She shares what they told her about their capture, families, despair and hope.

 Daily Show: Guantanamo Baywatch and the SCOTUS Decision
from Crooks and Liars
June 20, 2008
Jon Stewart reports on the recent SCOTUS decision granting Gitmo detainees the right to contest their imprisonment in federal court, and in the process mocks all the outraged right-wing nut jobs. Bill Kristol gets it especially rough, considering he appears to have recently changed his opinion on due process. Download | Play Download | Play Doocy: So with the recent Supreme Court decision saying that detainees down at Gitmo can wind up with habeas corpus and get legal rights and stuff like that Stewart: Legal rights and stuff. It s actually all been explained in Thomas Paine s A Treatise on the Rights of Man and Sh*t It s crazy to stop and think about how far we ve come in just eight short years. It is now within mainstream right-wing discourse to condemn the Supreme Court for ruling that the President can t lock people up for life without a chance for them to prove their innocence. Is this even America anymore? Is there literally anything more un-American? Digg It!

![President Bush accuses UK journalist of “slander[ing] America” for mentioning Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib abuses](http://images.mefeedia.com/entries/10107962/video_120.png) President Bush accuses UK journalist of “slander[ing] America” for mentioning Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib abuses
from Crooks and Liars
June 17, 2008
During an interview with Sky News, President Bush accused British journalist Adam Boulton of slander[ing] America when he noted that, despite the President s lofty rhetoric of spreading freedom, Guantanamo Bay and rendition are really the complete opposite of freedom. Download | Play Download | Play BOULTON: And yet there are those who would say, look, let s take Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib and rendition and all those things, and to them that is the, you know, the complete opposite of freedom. THE PRESIDENT: Of course if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way. But you go down what you need to do I think I suggested you do this at a press conference if you go down to Guantanamo and take a look at how these prisoners are treated and they re working it through our court systems. We are a land of law. The standard response whenever one criticizes American policies, of course, is to proclaim that that person is an anti-American slanderer. The irony, though, is that the policies this President has pursued over the past eight years could not be more anti-American in the classical sense. You know, things like rule of law and respect for human rights. But wait, there s more: BOULTON: But the Supreme Court have just said that you know, ruled against what you ve been doing down there. THE PRESIDENT: But the district court didn t. And the appellate court didn t. BOULTON: The Supreme Court is supreme, isn t it? You see, in Bush s America, the only courts that count are the ones he controls and/or the ones who rule in his favor. Never mind the fact that, as Boulton points out, the Supreme Court is called the Supreme Court for a reason. This man and the corrupt movement that sustained him for so long truly sicken me. January can t come soon enough. WaPo s Dan Froomkin has more on what he calls Bush s Senioritis and contempt for those who question him or doubt his accomplishments. Full, infuriating transcript below the fold. BOULTON: I mean, you ve talked a lot about freedom. I ve heard you talk about freedom I think every time I ve seen you. THE PRESIDENT: Yes. BOULTON: And yet there are those who would say, look, let s take Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib and rendition and all those things, and to them that is the, you know, the complete opposite of freedom. THE PRESIDENT: Of course if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way. But you go down what you need to do I think I suggested you do this at a press conference if you go down to Guantanamo and take a look at how these prisoners are treated and they re working it through our court systems. We are a land of law. BOULTON: But the Supreme Court have just said that you know, ruled against what you ve been doing down there. THE PRESIDENT: But the district court didn t. And the appellate court didn t. BOULTON: The Supreme Court is supreme, isn t it? THE PRESIDENT: It is, and I accept their verdict. I don t agree with their verdict. And it s not what I was doing down there. This was a law passed by our United States Congress that I worked with the Congress to get passed and sign into law. BOULTON: But it looked like an attempt to bypass the Constitution, to a certain extent. THE PRESIDENT: This was a law passed, Adam. We passed a law. Bypassing the Constitution means that we did something outside the bounds of the Constitution. We went to the Congress and got a piece of legislation passed. BOULTON: Which is now being struck down, I think. THE PRESIDENT: It is, and I accept what the Supreme Court did, and I necessarily don t have to agree with it. My only point to you is, is that yes, I mean, we certainly wish Abu Ghraib hadn t happened, but that should not reflect America. This was the actions of some soldiers. That doesn t show the heart and soul of America. What shows the heart and soul of America is the sacrifice of our troops willing to defend our country and liberate 50 million people, or the generosity of America when it comes to providing money for HIV/AIDS in Africa, or the fact that America feeds more of the hungry in the world than any other country. That s the true America.

Guantanamo on Trial
from Weekday Podcast
May 19, 2008
Guant namo Bay trials begin in July and they're already troubled. The general in charge of the trials has been barred from the first one. He's accused of pressuring prosecutors to try only sexy cases. Even President Bush agrees: Guant namo has got to close. What's unclear is how to make it happen. Some legal scholars want to try detainees in new national security courts. Civil rights groups say federal courts work just fine. Last month a released detainee detonated a suicide bomb in Iraq. Who's at Guant namo anyway? Will we ever see convictions? What happens to those who go home?Tomorrow on Weekday: Arianna Huffington

 John McKay: On Habeas Corpus
from Speaker's Forum Podcast
May 02, 2008
Former United States Attorney John McKay says it's a sad day for lovers of the constitution when the Great Writ, the law of habeas corpus, is nowhere to be found. McKay explains how the law that protects individual rights was absent in the case of two U.S. citizens, Jose Padilla and Yaser Hamdi, both of whom were declared enemy combatants by the Bush Administration and held for years without trial. Habeas corpus has been suspended before, during the Civil War and World War II. Are these circumstances the same? McKay explores that question. The White House fired John McKay and seven other U.S. Attorneys from the Justice Department amid great controversy in 2006. He now teaches law at Seattle University. McKay spoke at the Museum of History and Industry on April 2, 2008.
