Military Commissions Act of 2006
Didn't read the whole thing just, Section 7:HABEAS CORPUS MATTERS
No court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to
hear or consider an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed
by or on behalf of an alien detained by the United States who
has been determined by the United States to have been properly
detained as an enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination
...no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear
or consider any other action against the United States or its agents
relating to any aspect of the detention, transfer, treatment, trial,
or conditions of confinement of an alien who is or was detained
by the United States and has been determined by the United
States to have been properly detained as an enemy combatant
or is awaiting such determination.''.
On the face of it, it looks like the act applies only to non- US citizens. Maybe it's not a good thing but it's not the "drag us out of our houses in the middle of the night never to be seen again" thing. Have to read more...
