Slipping fast towards September 10

In case you have not heard, the trial judge for the Military Commission of Osama bin Laden’s chauffer-bodyguard has decided to let Salim Ahmed Hamdan pass notes to his follow Guantanamo detainees. Henry Mark Holzer suggests:

Perhaps Hamdan could write: “Khalid, this is me, your ‘ole terrorist buddy from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Waziristan. I’m just down the road here in another detention facility, eating well, praying to Allah, confounding my military guards, consulting with my America lawyers, having the Court rule military commissions illegal. We’re asking for all kinds of stuff the infidels can’t give us, and when they don’t that will really gum up these proceedings. What a country!”

What can’t the infidels give them and why it matters.
