Americans Aren't the Only People Who are Due Due Processnew
I really hadn't planned on writing about this decision. It seems so utterly obvious why Guantanamo Bay detainees deserve due process; I just figured it would be argued, re-argued and over-argued a million times in the opinionsphere before I could ever publish a single word about it. Instead, I watched and listened as the right-wing blubbermongers blubbered on about how the court's decision puts the rights of foreign terrorists above the safety of Americans.

The Case for Impeaching George W. Bushnew
It takes a very high crime to justify removing the president, especially during time of war. George W. Bush, unfortunately, has risen to that height. His decision to circumvent the Geneva Conventions laid the groundwork for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.
