It's all a matter of justice.
Miami Herald reporter Carol Rosenberg writes:
"Far from the razor wire, inside the court that ordered Richard Nixon to turn over the Watergate tapes, the stories of the once nameless, faceless men kept captive at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba come alive in page after page of habeas corpus petitions for 140 Guantánamo captives from 23 countries from China to Saudi Arabia.
They include assertions of being kidnapped to Afghanistan so the United States could cast them as captured on the battlefield. They write of wives and children awaiting their return and complain about their conditions, medical care and isolation.
Some allege American interrogations turned to torture. Others says they are innocent, devout Muslims mistaken for Islamic militants."
The justice is that of what every American has- to have their day in court. It is their day in a U.S. court and not of the nightmare star chamber justice of the tyrant Bush.
As tyrant Bush as said repeatedly of wanting to be a dictator it is coming to pass due to the attack on the symbols of America's economic and military powers.
This perversion of justice that tyrant Bush and his minons have promulgated upon the Constitution is the direct desire to ignore and trivialize the bedrock legal notion of "innocent until proven guilty".
This is why the founding fathers had the wisdom to add a Bill of Rights to our Constitution. The power of the state the founders well had experience with under rule Britannia. As envisioned through the Bill of Rights is a check on the power of the state. The tyrant Bush is assidously undermining under the cover of 9/11.
The unfolding legal battle over the world-girding gulag archipelago implemented by the tyrant Bush and his minons is of concern to all Americans because it strikes at the very heart of our justice system.
