"I Just Don't Know What To Say."

On the Diane Rehm show yesterday there was a fascinating discussion of the legal and political ramifications of the Supreme Court's recent decision granting habeus corpus relief to detainees at Guantanamo Bay and elsehwere.

You really should listen to the whole thing, and on balance both sides hold their own. Advantage: supporters of last Thursday's decision. But at 34:51 there begins a discussion with a McCain adviser, Kohri Schake. When Diane presses her on the fundamental contradction between McCain's opposition to the decision and his previous statements about closing Gitmo, Schake blows it spectacularly. Worth listening to.
