Boumediene concerns habeas corpus – the right of Americans to challenge detention by the government. Justice Kennedy has now extended that right to non-American enemy combatants captured abroad trying to kill Americans in the war on terror. We can say with confident horror that more Americans are likely to die as a result

In a stroke, they changed all prior law. If this holding occurred in 1942, Nazis POWs held within the continental US could have petitioned for habeas relief. The non-sense of that notion should be apparent.
