The lesson, and hopefully all those who might need it are already seated on the federal bench, is that habeas is the foundation of justice precisely because the executive branch should never be trusted. These men spent nearly seven years imprisoned (and were mentioned during George Bush’s 2002 state-of-the-union address) based on the strength of a rumour. Since that time, the administration blocked their release with iterative ridiculous legal arguments, including the one Judge Leon originally upheld. At least he finally faced up to the truth.
