Habeus Corpus: Where Is It?I would like to see president establish the rule of law for the detainees in Guantama, Cuba and Bagram, Cuba. We, as US citizens, believe in fair trials for all, no matter how heinous the crime. If we don't allow the detainees to a speedy and fair trial, I believe this is a type of cruelty for the guilty and innocent prisoners in these facilities. We don't want to become the monsters that some of these offenders are. Those that are found to be guilty should get what they deserve and those unfortunate innocents that have been tortured and cruelly confined should be released with our apologies.
The US department of justice decided to downgrade the findings on the torture memo lawyers, Bybee and Yoo, from professional misconduct to "poor judgement". See, the Newsweek article. I am also wondering about the abilities of Eric Holder and his staff to adequately conduct investigations and create legal and ethical rulings.
