Government Unfairly Using Anti-Terrorism Statute
Sometimes Instapundit (Law Professor Glenn Reynolds) is just so right on the money--as he is today with this post on his disagreement with the way the 1996 Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act ("AEDPA") is being used by the Government.
Prof. Reynolds agrees with another law professor, David Cole of Georgetown, who we link to frequently on civil liberties issues. Read his article Fight Terrorism Fairly from this Sunday's New York Times.
For those inclined to read the actual statute, it is 28 U.S.C. §§ 2241, et. seq. A detailed description of the Act's provisions is available here.
