THREE MONTHS AND STILL WAITING (Updated)

Sorry I missed the three month anniversary last week. June 12th the US Supreme Court held that the men at guantanamo were entitled to habeas corpus hearings and the lower courts were ordered to get moving....
Not one Habeas hearing has been held and although one judge has scheduled a habeas hearing for October 6th no other judge has even hinted at a schedule.
You have to admit that the department of injustice has been, and continues to be, very successful at one thing and that is getting the courts to do nothing for the men at Guantanamo.
Well shortly after I wrote this the only judge who scheduled an actual habeas corpus hearing (the one set for October6th) has indicated that he will probably grant the governments motion to continue that hearing date.... so much for moving forward with these hearings...
