(The following appears in the Crossroads section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Sunday, June 22.)
The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing Guantanamo detainees to challenge their imprisonment in civilian court should make Americans nervous. The 5-4 decision demonstrated that the court was hardly confident it was doing the right thing, and the consequences could be dire. Maybe I missed the memo, but I haven’t heard any terrorists alleging innocence. These are mass murderers proud to wage holy war, and we’re giving them more rights? Isn’t justice supposed to be swift?
