Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift, Mr. Hamdan's Navy lawyer, told the Associated Press that he had informed his client about the ruling by telephone. "I think he was awe-struck that the court would rule for him, and give a little man like him an equal chance," Commander Swift said. "Where he's from, that is not true."

This is where our strength really lies. This is what we need to build on if we're to win hearts and minds --the only way to prevail.

Betrayal of core American principles lies at the heart of America's newfound weakness instilled by the present administration. They've weakened America and earned us the condemnation of freedom loving people everywhere.

It will be hard to recover.
