The only right they got was the right to a habeas review.

Only for the moment. There is no telling where some judge clown will take it.

And Kennedy's opinion made it clear that this was about as far as this Court was going to go. With the strong dissent and weak affirmation, I think that is a clear signal that the right to a habeas hearing is ALL they are going to get.

Personally I hope that is all they get. I am not a liberal kook. I come down on this side of this one issue because of what habeas rights represent. I don't see how anyone can be comfortable with any executive who has unreviewable authority to detain anyone, certainly not the same military bureaucrats who are pressing charges against the Haditha marines. That is why I don't trust them.
