Covered today by El G Grande: The Supreme Court decision regarding habeas corpus and Gitmo is a legacy of the Bush Administration's desire to wage a war without asking Congress to declare War. Without a declaration of War (the only provision in the Constitution that allows the President to then lead the troops into battle; there is a provision for issuance of letters of marque and reprisal, but that is a different issue), those captured by US forces MUST be tried under US criminal code, just like all the other suspected terrorists in US history. Just remember the Symbionese Liberation Front and the Blind Sheik. That and more, from "Against the Grain" and www.libertyconspiracy.com
