Held without charge
June 15th, 2007 |What’s your opinion?
Is it right that those who are “plucked off the battlefield” can be held indefinitely and without charge?
Should US Constitutional rights be extended to those individuals captured overseas who are accused of attacking the United States?
Should US Constitutional rights be suspended for those individuals captured within the United States?
Should US Constitutional right be suspended at any time for US citizens?
Did the Founding Fathers fight a revolution to ensure that in a time of war, which can last as long as a president says it does, a chief executive has the right to detain whomever he wants, for as long as he wishes, with no recourse to habeas corpus, and under conditions that an international human-rights monitor considers “tantamount to torture?”
Your GOP presidential candidates believe that very thing.
