According to Time magazine, Bush has violated Habeus Corpus now 17,000 to 19,000 times. That's a record. No one knows the exact number because they can't talk to anyone. They just disappear.

While I am quite alarmed at the liberties taken, with liberty itself, by this administration, I still am in jaw-opened amazement at the lack of precision exhibited by you liberals.

You cannot 'violate' "Habeus Corpus" (sic). Habeas corpus is a demand. In latin, it means "produce the body", and in law is a demand for the prosecutor to produce the body of evidence. You can deny habeas corpus; you cannot violate it.

Furthermore, I would like to see that number substantiated. I suspect it is far lower and the individuals are deemed 'enemy combatants' -- an idea I am firmly against, BTW.

The reason I am against it so firmly is I dread to think what your gal, Hillary Clinton, will do with such a power.

Showing your true leftist colors, eh Fikus boy? Or should I say LLAN-DDUESSANT? Or Mortin? Or George Salt? Or somebody else holding you to ransom? Next, I suppose, you will be ranting about the Jews and posting links to marxist websites. Oh well. Got you banned before, will get you banned again.
