Guest opinions are selected in accordance with Well, OK, that’s not a tad curious, word length, subject relevance, and space considerations. either. Whenever the court comes up with what observers see as a “liber- al” ruling, it’s pretty much a sure thing that Scalia will write a dis- senting opinion. I mean, does the Sun come up in the east? (Well, OK, the Sun doesn’t really “come up” anywhere. It’s only our perception that it rises in the east. That’s a curious habit you have of being so picky about the details.) What was puzzling about Scalia’s dissent was this: In the case, known as Boumediene v. Bush, he wrote, “At least 30 of those prisoners hith- erto released from Guantánamo have returned to the battlefield.” That is a rallying cry for conser- vatives — the United States has imprisoned a bunch of bad bad bad- dies, and if we give them any rights, or — GASP — let them go, they’ll go out and kill Americans. I happen to believe that that is so much bilge water. And, as it turns out, what Scalia wrote (“At least 30” blah, blah, blah) is, indeed, so much bilge water. As the Seton Hall Law Center for Policy and Research reports, “The statistic was endorsed by a Senate Minority Report issued June 26, 2007, which cites a media outlet, CNN. CNN, in turn, named the DoD [Department of Defense] as its source. The ‘30’ number, however, was corrected in a DoD press release issued in July 2007, and a DoD document submitted to the House Foreign Relations Committee on May 20, 2008, abandons the claim entirely.” In fact, the director of the Seton Guest Opinion Hall center said Scalia “was relying uncritically on information that originated with a party in the case before him.” And that is curious.

The switch-hitting Swisher, who had a bases-loaded homer against the Cubs on June 27, connected from the right side against lefty Jeremy Sowers (0- 4) to cap a five-run third inning. It was the major league-leading eighth grand slam given up by Cleveland’s pitching staff this season. In the sixth, Swisher went deep from the left side against Tom Mastny — the seventh time in Swisher’s career he’s homered from both sides, including twice this season. Thome’s three-run homer was his second in two games and the 523rd of his career. Of Thome’s 16 homers this season, six have come against the Indi- ans, his former team. Gavin Floyd (9-4) allowed four runs and seven hits with a career-high 10 over six innings. Down 8-1 at one point, Cleve- land got within four with a pair of runs in the sixth as Peralta doubled, Shin-Soo Choo hit an RBI single and moved to third on a and an error, and he scored on David Delluc- ci’s RBI single off the top of sec- ond baseman Alexei Ramirez’s glove. Orlando Cabrera doubled to lead off the third when Indians’ right fielder Choo missed a slid- ing catch and scored on Jer- maine Dye’s two-out single off Blake’s glove. After Thome doubled and Joe Crede walked to load the bases, Swisher lined his 10th homer of the season down the left-field line and into the White Sox’s bullpen.
