Jury's out

The defense in the case of Salim Hamdan, 28-ish, of Yemen, rested and his case went to jury on Monday. His lawyers claimed that "changing lug nuts and oil filters" didn't constitute war crimes and alluding that Hamden, in the secret evidence stash, had actually offered to help the U.S. in Afghanistan. And Hamdan got paid a measley $200 a month for his services. If he's found innocent, he stays in GITMO. If he's guilty, he stays in GITMO. Either way, it'll remain bad for Osama bin Laden's former driver.
