#2 "Habeas corpus, the right to seek relief from illegal detention, has been a fundamental principle of law for seven centuries. The Bush administrations decision to hold suspects for years at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, has made habeas corpus a contentious issue for Congress and the Supreme Court today.

The Constitution says habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it. The plan proposed by Hoover, the head of the F.B.I. from 1924 to 1972, stretched that clause to include threatened invasion or attack upon United States troops in legally occupied territory."

The constitution does NOT say a word about the rights of foreigners held outside the US who have actied illegally by international treaty (Illegal Combatants according to the Geneva Conventions).

More drivel attempting to give US constitutional rights to everyone on the planet.

#3 You have to appreciate the irony that if Truman had taken Hoover's advice, there would probably be a lot fewer raving anti-American Moonbats walking around today.

#4 Sorry, moose, after FDR got in office, the penetration of the government by FOSU (friends of the Soviet Union) was complete. Look at the reaction to McCarthy's accusations, which have been borne out over time. If he hadn't been such an amateur and dipso, things might have turned out differently, but I doubt it. It is going to take a long time to remove this poison from the body politic.
