fun with injustice. . .

via talkleft:

Senator Lindsay Graham is introducing an Amendment to the defense appropriations bill pending in the Senate (S. 1042) that would strip those designated by the Administration as enemy combatants of the ability to seek habeas review in federal courts. This is an end-run around the Supreme Court's decision in Rasul v. Bush which held Guantanamo detainees have the right to challenge the legality of their detentions.

His amendment would
prohibit detainees from using the court to challenge:
-The legality of their detentions
-The propriety of returning detainees to their home countries
-Adequacy of medical care at Guantanamo
-Quality of the food
-Speed of mail delivery
-Allotment of exercise time and other conditions of confinement


good idea, senator. those people at gitmo are practically at club med. way to get them to quit their bitchin'.
