Habeas Corpus

[HarlequinGoddess]

If any one has heard of Habeas Corpus, please discuss your thoughts here. It is a truly distrubing topic that could potentially take away our rights.

If you haven't heard of it, here are a few good places to start.

Doesn't matter. The new term for it now is defuncta corpus or mortuus corpus.

[Caelestis Custodis]

This is a discussion how?

[HarlequinGoddess]

It wasn't meant to be a discussion. It was meant to be informative that way you could educate yourselves about a topic that is currently offending many people. MAYBE you could even do some thing about it other than complain about the lack of content in a forum that was meant to help you educate yourself.

please fix your links

I tried previously to do that before posting. Apparently Gaia doesn't like my browser. Try to copy and paste them if you really care enough to find our more infomation. Otherwise, here is a link to another Gaia forum that I found after I created this one to inform people.

Are you talking about the bill President Bush signed for the rights of detained terrorists?

It's good that your tring to inform the people, and as well you should, but gaia and/or the GD isnt really the place to do it. Most people dont care.

If you really want to get the attention of the people, post of flyers in town or hand out information pamphlets and even try to find out if there is an underground group you could get involved with around where you live.

All hail democracy and freedom in the empire of the USA!

Read inbetween the lines. If you talk to lawyers about it, they will inform you that it doesn't just apply to detained terrorist, but all of us. Any of us can be called unlawful combatants for any reason. We don't even have to have guns.

Done, done and still doing. Why not one more area? It takes just a few seconds of my time, and obviously it got a few peoples attention. There are a lot of things going on here as well as many other places in such manner as you speak of, but what good is it if it doesn't spread by any means possible. Even if apathy does over take the minds of some, then I can at least say I tried.

The Millitary Commissions Act is truely vile and disturbing. I'm working on reading it and it gives me chills.
