Did
the Supreme Court Just Gut Habeas Rights? The Supreme Court's decision on Monday not to hear appeals
from a group of Gitmo detainees leaves the remaining 169 detainees at the
facility with little chance of securing their freedom through US courts. . . .
. .
Editor’s
notes: actually, habeas corpus, the Constitutional right to a
trail or legal hearing, is a not a right
offered to all of mankind. Rather, it is a right borne of the US Constitution. Most countries have no such law or provision
and the terrorists in GITMO do not qualify.
This is not a “gutting of Habeas Corpus rights,” just a decision by the High Court that
effects 169 murderers, and nothing
more.
Understand that the men in GITMO were captured on the battlefield, everyone of them. As such,
their detainment does not and cannot measure up to accepted civilian
legal standards. These are the worst of
the worst. No one wants to take them off
our hands and Obama has learned, yet,
another lesson in his “evolution” as a man and a leader.
How does he solve the legal complications inherent with battlefield
detainment? Simple, he and his Leftist “peaceniks” either kill
the captives or release them back onto the battlefield. Our military in Afghanistan has captured and
released thousands of the enemy and killed hundreds more, all without taking any prisoners. We no longer interrogate the enemy and, as a consequence, we know less about what terrorism is planning
than what we knew back in 2004.
