Read this on Andrew Sullivan's blog if you care about America.
The "compromise" legislation would eliminate the writ of habeas corpus, for anyone the executive branch deemed to be supportive of terrorism. Keep in mind VP Cheney has already said that anyone who questions the administration's prosecution of the war on terror is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. This bill would give the administration the legal right to jail civilians it deems as "unlawful enemy combatants" and throw away the key with no trial.
Write your Congressperson.
Tell him or her to vote no on the detainee legislation.
