He knew, he said, that it was a bad bill but it was the best we could get at the time to move along detainee trials. Under the circumstances dictated by the law, Ken, what's the point? Just declare them guilty and be done with it. And by the way, do the same with the American citizens that can now disappear from the street into places like Guantanamo. Get the tribunal to declare them enemy combattants under criteria defined by the President or the Secretary of Defense and you're done with it.

Colorado does not need Democrats of Salazar's stripe, either Ken or John. John can be job hunting in two years, Ken in four. Let's work for that.

God bless Amerika!
