Quote for the Day
May 13, 2009 by mike.
“The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or communist.”
– Sir Winston Churchill
(1874-1965) Prime Minister of England
November 21, 1943
Churchill was a guy who knew a bit about totalitarian governance. It does appear he could not conceive of a democracy engaging in the totalitarian practice that he speaks about.
Habeas corpus. Is that an “old Europe” idea? I hope not.

From the Yemen Times: An American federal judge ordered on Monday the release of a Yemeni detainee from Guantanamo Bay after spending seven years in detention. U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler gave the government until June 15 to report back on the status of his release.
Alla Ali Bin Ali Ahmed, a 26-year-old who is listed as Ali Bin Ali Aleh, was held in Guantanamo Bay as detainee number 692.
