"In one of the most chilling public statements ever made by a U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales questioned whether the U.S. Constitution grants habeas corpus rights of a fair trial to every American." - ROBERT PARRY of the Baltimore Chronicle

Gonzales Questions Habeas Corpus

“You may be treading on your interdiction of violating common sense,” Specter said.
