Jack Cloonan, a former FBI agent who served on the Osama bin Laden task force in New York, told the Los Angeles Times: “It’s a stacked deck. I know people who are part of the tribunal process who represent detainees, JAG officers, who will tell you that they are politically to the right of Attila the Hun, and even they will tell you the construct is ridiculous, that it lacks due process.â€

We need people to the right of attila the Hun when dealing with terrorisy.It is the only thing terrorist respect.Jack Cloonan must be afraid the terrorist will not be coddled or pampered.
