it's good to see that the obama administration is losing the right court battles. i was disappointed when they adopted the bush administration's position in that case. but if they keep losing whenever they do something like that, i suppose it will suffice.
ADDING: empty wheel has a good post on the importance of the ruling.
and on a related note, every time i see a story about the charity involved in that legal battle, al-haramain islamic foundation, i think: why would anyone give money to a charity called "the two thieves"? today i finally bothered to look up the original arabic name. not surprisingly it's not spelled that way. i guess the world doesn't exist for my entertainment after all.
