From the draft circulating for the forthcoming executive order concerning "REVIEW AND DISPOSITION OF INDIVIDUALS DETAINED AT THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY NAVAL BASE AND CLOSURE OF DETENTION FACILITIES":

##

Section 2. Findings

##

(c) The individuals currently detained at Guantánamo have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. Most of those individuals have filed petitions for a writ of habeas corpus in Federal court challenging the lawfulness of their detention.


We now just may have an administration which respects basic and fundamental tenets of the concept "rule of law."
