Court action only benefits lawyers

Bringing the Guantanamo prisoners to the United States to stand trial is just an outrage. These prisoners are not U.S. citizens and were captured while we were at war with the Saddam Hussein regime and al-Qaida. They should be tried by a military tribunal at Guantanamo and sentenced there.

This whole thing is mostly about benefiting the trial lawyers who will provide both the prosecution and the defense counsel, all paid for by us, the taxpayer. It’s just an inept, or should I say, a stupid decision by the Obama administration.
