Habeas corpus and the Bush plan spar over rights
In court arguments over Munaf and Omar, U S citizens detained in Iraq challenge the administration’s stance that habeas corpus protections do not apply abroad. The piece argues the president and Pentagon control detainee treatment, urging preservation of constitutional rights and warning of a drift toward an imperial presidency. It highlights dangers to journalists and the broader public, and cites historical support for habeas corpus as a cornerstone of American liberty.
