Giving habeas corpus rights to a terrorist, who is not a US citizen, is not against the constitution, nor is it against the geneva convention or the hague accords. As with Bush, these people are enemy combatants, arrested and detained in the act of terrorism and harm to US soldiers or our allies. Obama fought it when it was fashionalbe to do so, but now that he is the CIC, he realizes that to get information that saves lives, and take dangerous people off the battlefield, this is a military necessity. Of course, what is not said in the SALON article is that they do have hearings, but they are Military Hearings. This was designed to keep Enemy Combatants out of Civilian Courts. This rightly is to be handled by the Military IMO.

Yes, thats right.

Also BTW,The Writ of Habeous Corpus was suspended during WWII.

Fact is , if Obama wants our bodies, he is going to have to fight to get them, I don’t much give a shite what the law is.
