Subject: Proposed Amendment

My list is generally for information and provocative thought. I  
rarely propose action items, but this seems important.

Senator Graham of South Carolina is planning to introduce an  
amendment to the defense appropriations bill that would strip the  
federal courts of jurisdiction and prohibit them from even hearing  
arguments against indefinite detention not only from Guantánamo  
detainees, but from anyone who has the misfortune of finding  
themselves at any U.S.-run facility anywhere, even within the United  
States.

If you wish to take action to oppose this proposed amendment visit

That's the website of the Center for Constitutional Rights - an  
organization for which we have very high regard.

Cheers,

S.
