Metro's Frame: "Court Rules on side of enemy combatant"
In today's daily Metro give-away street paper, they used the above frame for an AP story on the Appeals court ruling that "the federal Military Commissions Act doesn't strip Ali al-Marri, a legal U.S. resident, of his constitutional rights to challenge his accusers in court." NOT: "Court upholds habeas corpus" NOR "Court upholds Constitutional Rights". How flaming!! I am appalled!! How do we KNOW he is an enemy combatant? Who decides who is an enemy combatant? What if George W. Bush calls YOU or ME one? ARGH!!!
(Yes, I will be talking about the above to others.)
Peace hugs,
