The disasterous fallout of the Supreme Court's decision in BOUMEDIENE VS. BUSH reaches far beyond the 200+ enemy combatants held at Guantanamo.
Writing in the American Thinker, former General Counsel of the Illinois ACLU, Joel J. Sprayregen, sees the coming chaos all too clearly:
If you do not comprehend that the ACLU and its fellow revelers are preparing petitions in blank -- on behalf of every terrorist captured overseas -- to compel the Government immediately to disclose its evidence, then you understand nothing.
Terrorists and enemy combatants now in Iraq and Afghanistan are now invited to demand to see the evidence held by the military justifying their detention! What Iraqi or Afghan citizen now will feel safe giving information to our troops about the terrorists in their midst? What possible revenge can be taken by terrorist pals still at large against the informer's family and the families of the U.S. troops who captured their buddy? You think these names will not be included in the evidence? You think a detained terrorist will not seek to pass information supplied to him by habeas to his Leftist lawyer (and what lawyer but a Leftist lawyer would seek the release of a terrorist determined to bring down America?) Does the name Lynn Stewart ring a bell? It should.
Who would know the diseased anti-American mind of the ACLU better than its former General Counsel? Patriots are happy Mr. Sprayregen has left the Dark Side and now dedicates his pro bono time to think tanks protecting our national security.
