Guilty or Guilty? . . . GUILTY!

After 7 years of being held without charges, Salim Hamdan has been tried at Guantanamo Bay and convicted--with the condition that if he was acquitted he could still be imprisoned indefinitely.
This is reminiscent of our 17th Century witch trials: A woman would be bound and thrown into a pond. If she drowned, she was innocent. If she floated to the surface, she was guilty of being a witch and was executed.
