Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi to face American justice

The US has released news that it has in its custody Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi who is said to be a high ranking al Qaeda operative and that they are transferring him to Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Resort where he will undoubtedly receive humane treatment, get a free and fair trail and work on his tan all without unduly taxing the legal community.

I am not saying that Mr. Hadi is not in all probability a not very nice person. I am just saying that with the process so stacked against him that irrespective of the outcome I will always harbour a suspicion that justice has not been served.
