RESTORE-HABEAS.ORG: OK, three caveats: I do not know very much about this proposed act. I can’t read the text, because opening a PDF will crash this computer. (I will print it out tomorrow.) And I don’t have a senator. But a bill that “will restore Habeas Corpus protections to detainees, bar information acquired through torture from being introduced as evidence in trials, and limit presidential authority to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions” sounds pretty good to me. Apparently it will be introduced tomorrow (Wednesday), so if you do have a senator, now is the time to check it out. Also, of course, feel free to send me any links to discussion of the bill (pro or con) since nothing has turned up in the course of my usual rounds.
