Precedents on Habeas Corpus
I’ve been listening to Fox News report on the upcoming trial of Osama bin Laden’s driver, who requested a Writ of Habeas Corpus in accordance with the latest ruling by the Supreme Court on the subject.

Update:Newt Gingrich delivers petition with 1.3 million signatures to Congress demanding “Drill Now.”
Ike Skelton
