Jun. 30th, 2004 11:31 amThe Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Bush administration officials weren’t prepared for the adverse ruling by the Supreme Court and were scrambling to develop a strategy for granting hearings to the detainees without having to deal with lawsuits filed in courts around the country.
“They didn’t really have a specific plan for what to do, case by case, if we lost,” the newspaper quoted an unidentified senior Pentagon official as saying. “The Justice Department didn’t have a plan.

It’s astounding to me that these cases have been pending for so long and nobody came up with a contingency plan.”
Guantanamo prisoners could be moved to U.S.
