A DARKER SHADE OF W:
The End Of Habeas Corpus: This Is “Justice” In Obama’s America (Kenneth J. Theisen, 25 May, 2010, Countercurrents)
The denial of this basic right means that these prisoners have no right to a hearing in which a judge would review the evidence against them and could potentially order their release. This is "justice" in Obama’s America. The Obama administration has once again advanced the political and legal agenda begun by the Bush regime. If this ruling is not overturned, many prisoners of the U.S. war of terror could be held indefinitely.
My gosh, it's almost as if they're the same as the prisoners in every other war we've ever fought! Posted by Orrin Judd at May 25, 2010 6:26 PM
