"The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee says the compromise deal on terrorism-detainee legislation reached last week "has to be changed," and that he will "vigorously oppose" a section of the bill that strips the detainees of their right to appeal to the federal courts.
Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania spoke for the first time yesterday about the compromise reached last week between the White House and three leading Republican senators on legislation that sets standards for interrogating and trying suspected terrorists held in U.S. military custody.
"Most of it is a big improvement," Mr. Specter told CNN of the bill, which was published Friday. "But there's one part that I vigorously disagree with, and that is taking away the jurisdiction of the federal courts on what we call habeas corpus."
