    And here we have you, Glenn!

    Glenn asks

    The whole point of the habeas corpus right is that without a meaningful hearing, we don't know if the individuals our Government is imprisoning are really "al Qaeda terrorists" or something else.

    Exactly! Without a hearing, we don't know that they aren't, either!

    And by assuming without evidence or charge that the detained are guilty terrorists, it automagically makes us that much more successful in the waronterra!!!

    Hah! Out of touch liberals with your 'technicalities' and your fancy-pants "Constitution" and whatnot!
