Boumediene v. Bush

[flyinhome]

The Supreme Court ruled today that "enemy combatants" detained at Gitmo have the right to habeas corpus - that is, they have the right to contest their detention in court and to have have a court rule whether they are being detained lawfully

Amen! I can't wait for the movie of Bush's war crimes trial.

Ah, where is Spencer Tracy when you need him. Hell, I'd even give a bit part to Shatner again, why not. And let's film it in black & white because it's just too embarrassing to admit that this is happening now, in THIS century.

It's a toss-up on director, though. Spielberg would do a good job, on the other hand, Tim Burton would give the right 'creepy' feel to the whole debacle. Who knows, maybe it's just an Oliver Stone project - a plot with potential but handled so badly it will bomb - just like Emperor Bush.

I'm all for having the movie, just so long as the actual trial also happens.

As for directors: Oliver Stone, definitely. Nobody does conspiracy like he does.
