Michael Mukasey, George Bush’s new bottom at the department of justice is now saying that allowing Gitmo detainees to actually be physically present in court to contest their detention would constitute an “extraordinary risk”, so Congress needs to act to prevent this.

His proposal:

• All hearings heard in a single court (no doubt one particularly friendly to Bush and His Evil Minions^™).
• Detainees would remain in Gitmo for the hearings (meaning that they intend to keep the Gulag open).
• The courts would not be allowed to release the prisoner.
• The courts would not be allowed to delay trials.

One hopes that the Dems have some backbone on this, but I doubt it.
