John Yoo Using Same Old Lies

It seems John Yoo's is still lying to support the administration. " In a Wall St. Journal Op-Ed today, John Yoo defends the right of the Bush administration to imprison people at Guantanamo indefinitely with no judicial review and condemns last week's Supreme Court habeas corpus ruling as "judicial imperialism of the highest order."

This article makes clear an important point. The detainees were (I think mostly) not captured on the battlefield and therefore their guilt is more in question than POWs and that's exactly why they need some kind of habeas review.
