Well, "habeas corpus" goes back at least to 1215 A.D. with the Magna Carta... Many believe that it goes back hundreds, maybe thousands of years before that...

The concept of habeas corpus is that we don't hold people without charges and that evidence must be presented in order to hold them at all...

The Bush administration violated this ancient legal code... That's not an opinion... That is a fact...

Now that Bush is gone Obama is doing what any sane presicdent has to do and that is to return our country to respecting legal principles that have held up for hundreds, maybe thousands, of years...
