Since when did “habeus corpus” apply to alien terrorists? I thought it applied to citizens: Brits in the UK, Americans in the US.

Traditionally, enemies who do not wear proper uniforms or fight as part of a national army have no rights under the Geneva Convention either.

I don’t know why on earth the administration fails to point out these elementary facts, so flakes like Sullivan can’t keep making these ridiculous arguments.
