Ok, let's try this again. Our Const. protections do not and should not apply to foreign terrorists caught abroad and not held on U.S. soil. Why should they get habeus corpus? Since our military is not a law enforcement agency and has no pwer to prosecute criminals, except under military code, why should they be held to the same standards as a local police agency? Are you suggesting we need to mirandize terrorists we capture on the battlefield before interrogating them? Maybe we need to have some William Kunstler or Lynn Stewart-type defense attys. on hand for battlefield interrogations, you know, just so those terrorists' Const. rights aren't violated. Yeah, that will work so well and keep us safe at night.
