Terrorists defeat Habeas Corpus!

As we all know by now the Military Commissions Act of 2006 was made law by George W Bush on October 17 2006. For brief overview of the issues involved click here . Keith Olbermann of MSNBC uses US Historical Events to explain why this law is so dangerous. He uses the words and actions of past Presidents and George Bush himself to dispute the wisdom of signing this bill into law. See video below.

“With the distance of history, the questions will be narrowed and few: Did this generation of Americans take the threat seriously, and did we do what it takes to defeat that threat?” George W. Bush

"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety" Benjamin Franklin

Habeas Corpus......Gone!

The Geneva Conventions......Optional!

The moral force we shined outwards to the world as an eternal beacon and inwards at ourselves as an eternal protection......Snuffed Out!

These things you have done Mr. Bush! Keith Olbermann
