On Civil Rights: Disturbed that we suspended habeas corpus for War on Terror

One of the things about the war on terror that I am disturbed about is that we’ve essentially suspended habeas corpus. Which is something that’s only been done once in American history and then only for a very brief period. When I go back and think about the atmosphere in which the PATRIOT Act was passed, it begs for a reconsideration and review. Source: Salon.com interview by Jake Tapper Mar 23, 2003
