No More Habeus Corpus - Discuss

Well we officially have killed habeus corpus in the US. One of the most important rights we as citizens have. I'm not sure whether to be sad, angry, or confused at this. I'm not a huge Olbermann fan as he's a little too left for me, but I did enjoy his special comment on the death of this:

We forget that this country has abused the system over the years and that habeus corpus is necessary. Not just for George Bush, but any President (democrat or republican) that we put into power. I don't consider this an issue that should be divided on party lines, I see it as an issue of our government taking the rights of our citizens away.

Discuss.
