Bush detention policies hinder war on terror.

You knew it was coming sooner or later. The detention policies of the Bush administration have forced a country which does follow international law to not allow extradition of a terror suspect to the US.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- A Dutch court on Wednesday blocked the extradition of a Dutch terror suspect to the United States, saying his legal rights in U.S. custody could not be guaranteed. .......

The ruling by the Hague District Court said the suspect's "fundamental right" of unlimited access to a defense lawyer and immediate access to a judge may be compromised in the United States. .......

"This ruling is unique in Dutch legal history. Never before has a judge ruled that an extradition to the United States could not take place because the rights of a defendant could not be guaranteed," Nooitgedagt said ......


Remember the version of America you were taught in school. Think about this a minute.
