wiskawind ::: Favorites Bush posted Directive 51 on May 9, 2007; read it and see for yourself what plans he has for us Americans next! 07-06-11 13:22:53 _____________________________________________________
concerned00citizen ::: Favorites Restore a law? Why did he let them be ignored in the first place. Leahy allowed King George to do whatever he wants CAUSE Leahy is GUILTY of war crimes and doesn't want to have to charge himself and his cronies! 07-06-13 07:04:06 _____________________________________________________
ockhamselectricrazor ::: Favorites Temporary suspension of habeas corpus in wartime for extremely exceptional cases is reasonable and precedented in US history. However to invoke this in an endless war means permanent abolishment of this basic American right, is a victory for our enemies. Wake up America and defend our country from the would be dictators that are destroying precious way of life! Support this action while we still have a chance to save our freedoms. 07-06-13 11:47:50 _____________________________________________________
Bullettube ::: Favorites Leahy spokeout against, and voted against this bill from day one. It was a Republican Congress that was stampeded into voting to remove your Constitutional rights. 07-06-16 14:28:39 _____________________________________________________
Bullettube ::: Favorites Habeas Corpus is an internationally recognized human right, as is free speech and freedom of the press. We don't allow foreigners to enter out country with weapons either. Our freedoms are in our Writen Constitution, but we don't impose those rights on others, we grant them. 07-06-16 14:33:26 _____________________________________________________
sodie77 ::: Favorites Maybe if Mexico violated the terms of a signed cease fire and disarmament, then resumption of the military action is fully justified. The US military is not a police force and do not follow the rules of the American civilian police force. If you are caught in another country, not your own, carrying out terrorist activities, you fall under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. 07-06-19 15:43:51 _____________________________________________________

sodie77 ::: Favorites An illegal combatant is not afforded protections of the Geneva Conventions. They are not uniformed, they don't fight for a state or nation and carry out terrorist actions against civilian targets. 07-06-19 15:44:12 _____________________________________________________
oolong2 ::: Favorites Get one thing straight, there were inspectors on the ground when war started in Iraq. They were not allowed to finish the job. The war was started for regime change, you have been misled. Uniformed Code of Military Justice is not meant for mass imprisonment of civilians and the supreme court seems to agree. The point is, without habeaus corpus WE DON'T KNOW who was involved in terrorist activities. The innocent are being held for years along with the guilty. 07-06-19 16:24:04 _____________________________________________________
oolong2 ::: Favorites It is our arrogance that presumes that we know what they are fighting for and that ignorance lumps them all into one category called "The Enemy". When there are many groups with different motivations. And no they don't all target civilians. But most hate the US for invading their country and making their lives miserable. But tell me is it better when the uniformed US military targets civilians? When we fought the revolutionary war against England, where were our uniforms then? 07-06-19 16:38:53 _____________________________________________________
