Legal experts and human rights advocates condemned the government’s decision; one legal observer noted that:
“What the Pentagon is really concerned about is that ‘these 14 will open their mouths and say what was done to them,’ said Scott Horton, chair of the international law committee of the New York City Bar Association. ‘They were tortured and mistreated, and that fact is classified secret, which just shows you the perversity in which this whole process is traveling.’”
Welcome to the age of no habeas corpus. (I wonder if Abraham Lincoln would have accepted it).

Krugman's words are mere compliments compared to what's been said about the Bush admin over the past 6+ years
