Olbermann Special Comment on Suspension of Habeas Corpus

Yes but enemy combatants are suposed to be freed when a war is declared over under the geneva convention, and we have held aljezzera press members which is also against, and habeous corpus HAS been suspended for all citizens under the most recent executive order.

For sure. Olbermann is a national treasure.

Olbermann is just a left-wing propagandist. One mark of propaganda is the subtle obfuscation of the truth through the use of false premises. Listen carefully, people:

ENEMY COMBATANTS HAVE NEVER POSSESSED A RIGHT OF HABEAS CORPUS.

Not under any president. Not ever in history. Never.

To say that Bush is "eliminating" Habeas Corpus is blatant deception. YOU CAN'T ELIMINATE SOMETHING A PERSON NEVER HAD. Case closed.

What you are not accounting for is the fact that Habeas Corpus extends to the citizenry of the United States. That is to say, people like YOU AND I AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS AND FAMILY. You are revealing the depths of your own idocy by commenting in such a manner. "To say that Bush is 'eliminating' Habeas Corpus is a blatant deception" is no deception at all. It is the truth.

Habeas Corpus was NOT designed to defend the rights of enemy combatants or prisoners of war but to PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE from an overly powerful government capable of doing the things i previously listed with impunity.

With the bill President Bush signed into action YOU YOURSELF (or anyone reading this for that matter) COULD BE PICKED UP AND DETAINED INDEFINITELY WITH NO RIGHT TO COUNCIL (meaning no right to a lawyer),NO RIGHT TO TRIAL,AND TORTURED UNTIL NEAR DEATH CONTINUOUSLY BY OUR OWN GOVERNEMNT.

you are fucking retarded no offense. we are talking about AMERICAN citizens, not enemy combatants lololol. bush eliminated it all together, and you're even more retarded, since we HAVE allowed enemey combatants habeas corpus... ever heard of a war trial? go edumicate urself

You are the "fucking retard."

ENEMY COMBATANTS have always fallen under the control of MILITARY LAW--as originally codified into the constitution by the founding fathers. "Habeus Corpus" is a concept of CIVIL LAW. It has no recognition under military law.

Go "edumicate" yourself, asshole.

I can tell you now, The rest of the world is worried about Bush and the American country. It's a shame to see whats happening. Hopefully, the Democrats can do something to turn this around but, I think you'll find that's it's gone too far. I'm surprised that Bush didn't make up or invoke some law to stop the Democrats achieving what they did..Good Luck America, You're gonna need it..
