The Law: 2 Assholes: 0

Good news from the court system this week. First, a military appeals court found "no reversible errors in the decision of the lower court" in the convictions of two perpetrators of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib.  Then, yet another terrorist was brought to justice in civilian court.  Two points for the good guys.

The courts can handle these cases--they've been doing so for many years.  That some people can't bring themselves to trust the court system they live under doesn't mean the United States shouldn't default to civilian trials for these thugs.
