Follow up on "You're kidding me right ..."
Not surprisingly, I'm not the only one that thinks this whole lets-get-rid-of-habeaus-corpus-for-detainees stuff stinks. Much to read about ... enjoy!
Detainees deserve Court Trials:
talks about a detainee that was found innocent by a military tribunal, but was kept a secret ...
"The military people reached this conclusion, and they wrote it down on a memo, and then they classified the memo and Adel went from the hearing room back to his prison cell. He is a prisoner today, eight months later. And these facts would still be a secret but for one thing: habeas corpus." -- P. Sabin Willett, Detainees Deserve Court Trials, Washington Post, November 14, 2005, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/13/AR2005111301061.html?referrer=emailarticle.
Doing Unto Others as They Did Unto Us:
About Gitmo torture tactics that mimic the Red Army method - tactics that they used to train soldiers on how to resist abuse.
"The Pentagon effectively signed off on a strategy that mimics Red Army methods. But those tactics were not only inhumane, they were ineffective. For Communist interrogators, truth was beside the point: their aim was to force compliance to the point of false confession" -- M. GREGG BLOCHE and JONATHAN H. MARKS, Doing Unto Others as They Did Unto Us, N.Y. Times, November 14, 2005, http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/14/opinion/14blochemarks.html?ex=1289624400&en=071376aa07025d49&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss.
[yes, those are in blue book format.]
