BTW, if B.L.s driver been tried in a civilian court which is the direction the rest of the detainees seemed to be headed after the recent Supreme Court habeus ruling fiasco, he likely would have received no sentence at all. He probably would have gotten an apology and a big wet kiss.
I am surprised that a military tribunal failed to see that Bin Laden's driver would also likely be a trained killer. They seem to have been convinced that he was Morgan Freeman trying to take Osama to the Piggly Wiggly.

It makes about as much sense as blaming previous administrations.
