A Modest Proposal

If, as several U.S. senators argued today, foreign nationals held outside the United States have no constitutional rights, even if held by the U.S. government, and they have no habeas rights, then, well, here's a simpler bill:

As of October 1, 2006, all detainees at Guantanamo Bay will be lined up, against a wall, to be specified by the Seceratry of Defense, and shot in the back of the head, until dead, without exception. No court of the United States shall have jurisdiction to hear challenges to said summary executions. That is all.

No constitutional problem there. Nothing to see, folks. Move along. Certainly not covered by the Geneva conventions.

See my earlier posts on suspending habeas corpus, here and here. In these earlier posts, I wasn't quite as angry as I am tonight.
