10/19/2004 Entry: "Yaser E. Hamdi is home"

"Last Monday, the U.S. Defense Department spit out Yaser Esam Hamdi like a piece of bad meatloaf -- deporting him to Saudi Arabia with the agreement that he renounce his U.S. citizenship and never visit or harass the United States again. Now back in Saudi Arabia, Hamdi says he was innocent all along. Following a serious smackdown from the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2004 -- which ruled that he could not be held without some measure of due process -- neither the Defense Department nor the Justice Department could digest the hard, chewy lump that was Hamdi any longer. After nearly three years of detention and interrogation in the Tower of Charleston, err ... the Charleston, S.C., naval brig, Hamdi was sent packing."
The Accidental Terrorist, The burgeoning new legal category of "enemy combatant lite.", by Phillip Carter, Slate, October 19, 2004

That poor kid. I shudder to think what's happening to him in prison.
