to clarify, what I am saying is that in light of the fact that they were already granted habeas rights and the lawsuits are stacking up - wiping that clean and instead giving them a single appeal to the military judgement against them, is better then the status quo.
Looks like they'll still have two appeals, one to the DC circuit and one to the SCOTUS. And while it'd be better than the silly rules in place that allow them habeas, the question is why the SCOTUS or the Senate is interjecting here at all. Isn't the President commander in chief? Doesn't he decide how we fight wars? Doesn't he interpret treaties where that is relevant to fighting wars?
Heck, now I think he should let them all go...that is, let them all go driving over a few IEDs in Iraq.
