6. Olbermann: “Why does habeas corpus hate America”



One bit of trivia that caught our eye was the elimination of habeas corpus. which apparently used to be the right of anyone who's tossed in prison, to appear in court and say, "Hey, why am I in prison?"

Why does habeas corpus hate America…and how is it so bad for us?

Mr. Bush says it gets in the way of him doing his job.
