After the Supereme Court ruling last month gave all detainees the right to petition federal judges for immediate release, Dana Perino, speaking for Bush in a press conference Thursday, said that the dangerous detainees who are detained in Guantanamo could end up on the streets of the U.S.A.

Uh.. I may not be the brightest bulb in the box, but I thought that Homeland Security was supposed to be able to take care of that very unlikely possibility. After all, wasn't Khalid the Al-Quida third in command, and tactical mastermind of 9/11? He is either a confessed civilian mass murderer or a war crimes criminal, and he'll have his day in one court or another.
