It helped us win WW2, the Civil War and others. While I either applaud your high standards or laugh at your lack of knowledge of history and who rights are afforded to by 'our' constitution I'll whole heartedly disagree with you either way and dismiss your words as you see most doing here.

Habeas is the call for the government to justify its detention. Nobody doubts the justification in detaining combatants. It's in detaining the innocent that we have doubts. I agree however, that habeas is not very progressive. Its about 9 centuries old. Why is it crap? Habeas is the call for the government to justify its detention.

A menace is growing every day. It does not grow on a unified front. It is not organized as a country. It does not have a seat at the UN. Some of its membership worldwide are not participating in open acts of violence, yet the insidious oppressive nature of this force finds its ways in through the front door of openness and inclusion. Openness and Inclusion are doctrines of the West. They are noble and just. But taken to the extreme, these doctrines can bring in division and oppression. Peace at any price, meaning the absence of conflict, is the most costly form of peace. It means submission. The world, primarily the West, is submitting. This is the aim of the adherents to the peaceful force that I am describing. Islam. To offend somebody in the western Islamic community can bear either violent consequences or western societal submission. The moment speech is abridged, true freedom dies. The moment a woman in Western Civilization hesitates going into public dressed in a certain manner, true freedom dies. The moment law enforcement turns from protecting law abiding citizens, true freedom dies. When the predominating reason for tolerance is precipitated by fear, freedom dies. Western society has two choices. Vanquish, or be vanquished. Islam, by its nature, is not a status quo worldview. It is a jealous master. It will not submit by choice. If you doubt, open your eyes and read the Quran and the Hadith. Then read history. You can not come away from this study and find a worldview compatible with Western Civilization. This study coupled with today's headlines is a loud message from over a billion Muslims. It is visible everywhere, even in the UN. To miss this, one must willfully choose to disbelieve glaring evidence. Understand, these encroachments on liberty will continue, and like a snowball at the top of a mountain, the onslaught will grow in size and speed. Ask yourself, why do I want to accept and appease Islamists? Is it because of your openness, your respect for multiculturalism? Or are you now starting to fear deep down inside. The hurried frenzy to negotiate and appease a fascist dictator in Iran is a great example of this problem. Iran will become a nuclear power if the world just keeps on negotiating. How does it make you feel? Ahmadinejad, Iran's President, has stated numerous times that the Holocaust did not happen. He has also on numerous occasions called for the Muslim world to envisage a world without Israel. He is very direct in his statements. Ahmadinejad is not alone. There is a hunger in the Muslim world to see the destruction of Israel. It is not just Arabs. It is Muslims worldwide that desire the eventual removal of Israel from the map. If you choose to willfully ignore the facts and believe that the threat can be negotiated with and contained, you are mistaken. Again, I ask you to conduct your own study.

That means it belongs to our <em>citizens.</em> And that's the way it should be. Not to foreign terrorists, whether they're captured infiltrating here or on a remote battlefield. Although if you are really concerned about their treatment and rights, brad, you can always volunteer to let the next <em>jihadi</em> we apprehend stay with you instead of at Gitmo. Make sure your will is up to date, though, since you're likely to get your throat cut for your generosity. As for courts being able to distinguish enemies from innocents, that overlooks the fact that your guys wanted to let the detainees shop around for a sufficiently left-wing judge who could be counted on to let them off. Sometimes I'm amazed at how clueless the BDS left is. They don't even have the normal human instinct for self-preservation.:-w Habeas corpus is one of our civil liberties.

Somehow, even without you being there to wring your hands over it, the country somehow managed to survive intact and return to normalcy. This is nowhere near the suspension of civil liberties either of those two were, and also note that there was serious government censorship of the news in both of those presidents terms. The editors of most of the major newspapers today, like the NYT, would be in jail or hanged in FDR or Lincoln's time. Time to face reality, this is not, nor are any of the things you and your fellow travelers are shrieking about, anywhere near as severe as has been done in the past, and as should be being done now, and the country still returns to normal. It's always "the sky is falling" with Democrats and leftists, no sense of perspective or history. And these are people who are not innocent little lambs, the number of people we are getting, and who are not released but kept around, are not going to be innocent, very few will be ones we have any doubt about. And even if we do grab some innocents, we at least try not to, and nothing we are doing is as bad as any of our servicemen have been subjected to in every single war we've ever fought in.

AFAIK, FDR and lincoln where challenged in court. Removing habeas removes court challenges. I don't think congressional removal of habeas is normal during wartime. Lastly, my concern for habeas is not a concern for the detained enemy: A court will see a habeas challenge and hold the enemy. Its actually a concern for those who are not the enemy and are detained.
