Rediscovering the Bill of Rights

Mister Jacob G. Hornberger (some men just rate a Mister in front of their names), founder and president of the libertarian Future of Freedom Foundation on Pentagon Learns About the Sixth Amendment:

The Pentagon is learning that things work differently here in the United States than they do in Iraq. In this country, when the judiciary issues an order, the Pentagon is required to obey it. That's why the government is now permitting Ali Saleh al-Marri to meet with his attorney as part of his habeas corpus proceeding in federal district court in South Carolina.

Let's hope that other parts of the Administration rediscover the rest of the Bill of Rights. For instance, our lovely singing Attorney General needs a crash course of in How Not To Be A Rights Squashing Fascist 101. Some may find that assessment harsh, but then I'm a libertarian, not a "surrender your freedom for security" sellout pretending to be a libertarian. Read the rest of Mr. Hornberger's piece here.
