Habib gets time off for innocent behavior

“Habib’s more than three years of incarceration came into sharp focus this week, when the Bush administration agreed not to charge him with any crime and to repatriate him to Australia. Once home, he will be free, Australian officials said Wednesday.”

The mere fact that this guy wasn’’t disappeared gives me hope in the USA. That’’s a line apparently no one in authority has been conditioned to cross yet. In the story, there’s all manner of outrageous behavior coming from US government agencies and agents (to say nothing of the Egyptians’), but at least they didn’t disappear the guy.

I know it’s a fairly rude and pitiful thing to hang my hopes on, but they’ve got to hang somewhere.
