George Bush took YOUR Habeas Corpus rights
Hello:
Recently, the Appeals Court approved the loss of YOUR Habeas Corpus rights. That's right, I said YOURS.
Hold on, excon, you say. The habeas corpus rights that were taken away, were taken away from foreigners who are held in foreign prisons. YOU and I, excon, still have OUR habeas corpus rights, you say.
By the way, habeas corpus (a bedrock of American law), is the last available method a prisoner has to challenge his imprisonment in court.
So, you and I still have OUR habeas corpus rights, you say. Well what happens if the CIA (who rightly or wrongly thinks you're NOT an American) picks you up in the middle of the night and whisks you off to, say Cuba? Since you aren't ever going to see a judge, who are you going to tell about your habeas corpus rights?
If some people don't have habeas corpus rights, none of us do. Come on righty's, tell me I'm wrong.
