>>We talked about this last night- since Dan is an attorney, I htought he could enlighten me. But it really isn't simple. It really isn't just about protecting the rights of the innocent in this case. It's about the Constitution, and the status of the prisoners at GITMO. And whether they fit into that section that allows for the lifting of habeas corpus.<< Rambi - I would submit that the entire point of Habeas Corpus is to protect the innocent. It prevents the government from grabbing anyone they don't like, incarcerating them indefinitely, and denying them access to due process. That's not a concept unique to our Constitution, and it should not be applied only to our citizens. - Allen
