Hamdan gets 5 months of prison for driving a car, instead of a life sentence.
Now if he can go back home after those 5 months, and if the 5 years and 1 month previously served under harsh conditions and torture didn't happen, I'd be pretty happy with the military tribunals.
And if all the other torture, extraordinary rendition, unjust wars, private military corporation immunities, political sniping, political hirings to apolitical jobs, pandering to big business and the rich (like doctors), and backhand dealings with governments who have oil (Read "The Goal of the West for Less-Developed Oil-Rich States: Spend All of the Money on Western-Built Infrastructure; the Saudi Arabia Project") would stop, I could say I was proud to be an American.
Sorry I'm such a Debbie Downer.

Uhh also, free Palestine and Tibet, end the occupation in Iraq, mediate effectively with Zimbabwe, stop the fighting in Darfur and Chechnya, and basically fix all the other problems with global politics, while we're drinking unicorn giggles and making fairytale wishes.
Oh and cure AIDS, world hunger, and create a clean energy source.
