Judge voids scores of captives' habeas cases
By CAROL ROSENBERG

A federal judge has dismissed more than 100 habeas corpus lawsuits filed by former Guantánamo captives, ruling that because the Bush and Obama administrations had transferred them elsewhere, the courts need not decide whether the Pentagon imprisoned them illegally.

The ruling dismayed attorneys for some of the detainees who had hoped any favorable U.S. court findings would help clear their clients of the stigma, travel restrictions and, in some instances, perhaps more jail time that resulted from their stay at Guantánamo.

U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan wrote he was "not unsympathetic" to the former detainees' plight. "Detention for any length of time can be injurious. And certainly associations with Guantánamo tend to be negative," he wrote.

But the detainees' release from the remote base in southeast Cuba made their cases moot. "The court finds that petitioners no longer present a live case or controversy since a federal court cannot remedy the alleged collateral consequences of their prior detention at Guantánamo," he wrote.

Our Guest: Phil Jayhan of LetsRoll Forums

Are Some of the 9/11 Passengers Still Alive?...and other disturbing questions.

I am the first one to admit that there are a lot of far fetched theories and allegations floating around about what really happened on September 11th, 2001, none crazier however than the official explanation. But the latest information to come my way, courtesy of our guest Phil Jayhan of the LetsRoll Forums, has left me stumped and thirsting for answers, which some of you out there may be be able to provide.

I am asking for your help. If you can shed some light on the disturbing questions that we are going to raise during our broadcast we may be able to put some of our suspicions to rest, or - if not - we may just have found some solid proof that the events of 9/11 involved more people than any of us could have imagined.
