The president thinks the war on terror gives him carte blanche to go outside of the law.

It is not debatable whether the president can order electronic eavesdropping once Congress has passed a law making it criminal to do so. It is impeachable. The fact that we are sitting in 21st century America debating the issue of presidential power is ridiculous to me.

This could be a big break if Pappas testifies as to why those dogs were used and who ordered the dogs to be used. It's a steppingstone going up the chain of command, and that's positive. It might demonstrate that it wasn't just a few rotten apples.

I find it extremely hypocritical that Washington is investigating this group for the 'crime' of traveling to Cuba.

This vigilantism demonstrates the utter breakdown of the government. These private security forces have behaved brutally, with impunity, in Iraq. To have them now on the streets of New Orleans is frightening and possibly illegal.

This lawless situation must not continue. Every imprisoned person should have the right to test the legality of their detention. It is this basic principle that has been denied to our clients,

It's chilling to read it, not because of one incident but because of what you see here, the United States was running here, was a two-and-a-half year interrogation camp,

The Supreme Court has not closed the doors of justice to the detainees imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. This is a major victory for the rule of law and affirms the right of every person, citizen or non-citizen, detained by the United States to test the legality of his or her detention in a U.S. Court.
