Natives Get Restless

It's pretty amazing how people will get agitated when they actually find out that they have rights, and those rights are being violated:

In its filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department says the frequent visits by lawyers to Guantanamo have resulted in unrest among the detainees and are at least partly responsible for the hunger strikes and protests at the detention center. To fix these problems, the department proposes a new system that would limit the number of times a lawyer can go to see any current (three visits) or prospective (one visit) clients. Lawyers say these restrictions would make it impossible to represent the detainees and insist that one visit is usually not enough to convince detainees they're not government interrogators. The proposal would also give officials the authority to deny access to secret evidence as well as to read attorney-client mail. A lawyer involved with the defense of detainees says the proposal is merely "an effort to restore Guantanamo to its prior status as a legal black hole."

We don't want any "unrest" among the prisoners now do we?

The United States, the beacon of freedom and justice for all!
