Latest Gitmo shit hits BushCo fan as judge bans evidence

Navy Capt. Keith Allred, the judge in the trial of Osama bin Laden driver Salim Hamdan, has banned some prosecution evidence from being used.

Why?

The no-duuhh answer, from a civil liberties perspective.
Because of the “highly coercive environments and conditions under which they were made.”

The administration, via Army prosecutors, is of course appealing the ruling.

Actually, they probably don’t even care. In a reversal of civilian court death penalty appeals, BushCo is probably content with another decade of various appeals to serve its purpose.
