You remember JAMES YEE don't you?
He's the MUSLIM US SOLDIER wrongly sent to Gitmo.
Do you have any example of ANY TERRORIST'S CAMPS that were exposed from this "interrogations"?
"24" isn't documentary you know.
I do not know international law, but it would be astounding if habeus corpus was not protected under international law.
Practically we cannot go around abducting and detaining people from all nations just because they are "foreign nationals". If extended, we can just round up countless people, tens of thousands, and not charge them because they are "foreign nationals".
...
Also habeus corpus means that you cannot be detained indefinitely. That means you charge them with something to justify incarceration. It would be much much better if we gave them the right of habeus corpus than if we took it away-even if it could be justified under a "foreign national" status.
Saving "foreign nationals" right to habeus corpus is saving OUR right to habeus corpus.
We do not obey habeus corpus because its not just a democratic thing, we obey it because it is HUMANE.
At least James Yee (you remember him?) ordeal isn't for nothing if it help saves other innocents who are wrongfully sent to Gitmo, regardless whether they're Americans or not.
When the neo-cons start talking their noise and fear-mongoring we need to expose it for the Hitler-speak that it is. Fuck being respectful!! I say turn them into Lil Hitlers and try to ruin them for the stupid shit they say...they certainly aren't respectful of my beliefs so fuck them if they get their feelings hurt.
Fair and swift justice is a human right and that's it.
It is just not possible to create some smart legal construction to enable denial of human rights.
Or you chose as a society not to respect human rights for suspects anymore.
And just say it like that.
Do you have any texual supports?
What you try to prove to the audeinces.
