““You are as stupid..””

I repeat you are stupid.

The recent SCOTUS decision (READ IT) gave detainees in GITMO the right to file a Writ for Habeas Corpus because they ruled Camp Delta was de facto US Territory. If the the detainees in GITMO would have been transferred to the US as McCain wanted there would not have had to be the ruling because they would have the right to file a Writ of Habeas Corpus. The POWs in the United States most certainly had the right to file in federal court but the judge sends it back. If they would have had a sympothetic judge they could have been freed.

Your argument is that people can be detained inside the United States without the right to go to Federal court and demand a release. The judge does not have to grant it but he could. If the detainees (before the last decision) were kept in GITMO they did not have the right even to petition.

Read the links I gave you and this one.

http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/07pdf/06-1195.pdf

If you read this you will discover that the point the majority made was that GITMO is de facto US Territory. The ruling was not that the detainees get special priviledges the ruling is they get treated as if they were CONUS.

Quit being so stubborn and read,

BTW, your tactics are not going to hurt your mission of getting Obama elected.

Well the Dems have nominated a lib which reflects the parties orientation. The GOP nominated a Lib also. That is funny.

False. They were tried before a military commision and hanged. They never had access to the federal courts.

“hurt your mission of getting Obama elected.”

I think you have me confused with yourself. I’m voting for McCain. And your personal attacks aren’t going to get me to change my vote.
