The Gitmo Terror Camp is Unconstitutional
Becky Akers writes: "Now that the Feds have illegally imprisoned and tortured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his cohorts for years, Obama’s administration has graciously deigned to try them. So what if the Constitution requires trials for all "persons … (not just "citizens" – nor may neocons assert that the Founders used "person" interchangeably with "citizen" in their magnum opus because they didn’t) held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime"? If the last century achieved nothing else, it proved that Our Rulers need no longer obey the Constitution’s quaint little commands unless they feel like it. And so Bushbama openly flouts the requirements of habeas corpus when it comes to suspected terrorists, even those who are citizens. " Read the rest please.........

Good article!
I especially love the last paragraph (bold mine):
Former presidential puppeteer, Karl Rove, alleges that "some attorneys in the Justice Department have tried for years to … ‘gain for these war criminals the rights that we would accord American citizens who might be accused of knocking over the local 7-Eleven.’" You’d think he and the rest of Our Rulers would show some sympathy, being war criminals themselves.
