US military judge rejects effort to redo Guantanamo convict's sentence The U.S. military judge who presided over the first war-crimes 'trial' at Guantanamo Bay has rejected a prosecution request to reassemble jurors in order to reconsider sentencing for Osama bin Laden's driver, the Associated Press reported. Navy Capt.

He is eligible for release by January.

Sarah asking for 5 million dollars in 72 hours. Let's see if the Republican voters are willing to send Sarah more money to shop with. It would have been nice if Sarah had asked for that money for an Ad like Obama's.

Arnie gave a great speech for McCain, but it might hurt him in the future. Arnie said John McCain served this country and no Leader should be in charge who hasn't. Now I was a little surprised at Arnie since he's Govenor of California and hasn't served in the US Military and got his citizenship by marrying a Kennedy. Arnie can't even speak education well. Now he was kicked out of his country first because he lied and second because he wouldn't serve in the Military. Looks like Maria will be the head of the family and Arnie will be a stay at home Mom. Even the Movie people dumped him, heath risk.
