So Illegal Combatants Have Habeas Corpus Rights?
"In a breathtakingly stupid piece of legal reasoning only a libtard could possibly justify, the Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that illegal combatants captured on the battlefield have the legal right to appeal their imprisonment to a civilian court.
Let's put this in perspective: Our own soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, overseas putting their very lives on the line to protect our constitutional freedoms, do not have that right, when confined under an article 15 or court martial, for reasons that I would have heretofore thought obvious: The civilian courts have no competence to weigh mission accomplishment needs against the need to maintain order and discipline in the ranks, they have no competence to establish practical and useable rules of evidence collection and gathering on the battlefield, they have no competence to sit in judgement of warriors who are accused of crimes in the heat of a firefight, and they have no administrative capacity to extend judicial oversight over thousands of miles for thousands of cases.
Yet liberals have granted the precious right of habeas corpus to terrorists."

Lets just remember that they have them in Cuba. If it had not been for Bush's great idea to put prisoners in Cuba so he could skirt the law, this would not be the case. The only reason they had standing is because they were in Cuba, where only the Federal government had control. Had they been held almost anywhere else in the world, including here in Florida, this would not be the case.
Blame the Bush administration, it's their fault.

Damn straight, Bush and his minions are to blame. Will hold them accountable? Probably not.
Peace...
