Congress's Shameful Retreat From American Values
Garrison Keillor writes: "The US Senate, in all its splendor and majesty, decided that an 'enemy combatant' is any non-citizen whom the president says is an enemy combatant ... and can be arrested and held for as long as authorities wish without any right of appeal to a court of law to examine the matter." Keillor reminds us that "The Senate also decided it's up to the president to decide whether it's OK to make these enemies stand naked in cold rooms for a couple of days in blinding light and be beaten by interrogators. This is now purely a bureaucratic matter."
