Ted Rall hopes President-elect Barack Obama remembers her very well, specifically, that he remembers her 1996 Peruvian show trial for allegedly helping Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.
Rall says its similar trials to that which we would get here if we adopt Obama’s “special court” system for trying Guantanamo detainees.
That said, Rall appears to have left his brains, and certainly any Realpolitik, lying on the side of the road on this one.
Rather than next saying we should try all Gitmo detainees in regular federal courts, he instead says that, because evidence may be tainted, we ought to set them all free.
And then give Gitmo to Cuba.
Sorry, Ted, but you lost me on this one.
