But the two glaring falsehoods in today's Op-Ed -- that habeas protections protect "Al Qaeda terrorists" and that Guantanamo detainees were captured on the battlefield -- are precisely the ones that have been used for so long to obscure the real dangers of empowering our Government with the authority of lawless imprisonment. -- Glenn Greenwald
Do you have proof that there are NO AlQaeda or battlefield combatants affected by this ruling as Yoo indicates? If not, then your statement here is false and his is true. I would think it more likely that both of you are partially correct.
Why not try the true middle course rather than indulge in untrue absolutes? It's a more serious approach.
