. >> what is habeas corpus? >> it is not only a rich. it was literally a scrabble parchment that a judge said to a jailer ordering that gender to bring a named president into his court and along with a return had to be on parchment that explained why it was that jailor was holding that prisoner. more than a scrap of parchment even free hundred years ago and certainly today hate to -- habeas corpus stands in our minds for the idea that no one shall be held, could street did anyway against their will by someone else without the loss supervising that could street. without probably the lot it the person of a judge be sure it is okay. >> how did the concept of habeas corpus develop? >> i emphasize the parchment because it is a legal device before it is an idea that you and i associate with victor of a great writ of liberty and one of the fundamental needs by which we insure freedom from restraint. it is a very, ed for of office. if you stopped the thick of it courts are probably dealing with people that have to be different. [talking over eac

right to a writ of habeas corpus because my. my remit is limited to the conditions of detention not whether he should be detained or not. maybe another special rapporteur or working group in united nations would be interested in that obviously human rights. norms include a fair trial that cetera but in my case i limited by my mandate and that is you know whether his conditions of detention amount to cruel inhuman and degrading treatment and it makes total sense to me at least that you would need to see a man that you would need to see him unmonitored but we did see a letter that he wrote that was published that sort of detailed some of the treatment some of his daily activities that including those twenty three hours during the day he was asked every five minutes are you ok so he didn't just sit there and answer also this business about him you know having to sleep naked if all of this is true what would that mean for your job and your decision. obviously i'm interested in this matter because any time a geisha is made about soli

most of us in the room grew up believing that such things as habeas corpus were sacred in our system. now people can be held without charges or even undergo rendition and tortured. so you know, we have zero lots -- we have lost a lot of ground and we just have to keep working on this. >> thank you, marc. martha, there is -- i'm going to read this. she won't accuse me of misquoting. there is a section in her book, "expecting to fly." we talk about anybody who loves history or is a history teacher, a historical hindsight. you can measure what happened in the past only looking at society and what it was like in the past. i am going to ask martha and anyone else who wants to comment about the section in "expecting to fly" where martha, at her present age, it goes back to antioch college and sees herself running around on some drug, i won't say which. she wants to talk to her past person. she says, hey, what would she do if i ran after her and grabbed her arm and said, look at me. look at me. i'm you. you're not me. i don't know you. yes, i am, i tell her. i stare right in her face. i'm yo

well, i mean one of the things that's interesting about this whole process is because of the habeas corpuse detainees have been bringing in court, we've had a series of judicial rulings by article 3 judges and in some cases military judges who have looked at the government's evidence and ruled that it's not good and the detainees needed to be let go. in some cases there were veiled references to certain witnesses against prisoners having been unliable. it was so censored you had no idea what they were talking about. with these files you can see a small number of detainees are in some case providing an enormous amount of information about the rest of their colleagues or at least their fellow prisoners. many aren't talking at all or few are talking prolifically. in some cases those detainees also have mental health problems or have been otherwise revealed to be maybe exaggerateors at best. so to see the specifics here's one person who has been held for many years the basis of, say, four people and now you see that each of those four people had credibility problems, it brings into sharp focus

d'etat in slow motion and everything the obama administration has done from the refusal to restore habeas corpus to regulate wall street to pass a moratorium on foreclosures we're talking soon by the end of this year next year an estimated ten million americans push from their homes a million americans went into personal bankruptcy last year because they couldn't afford proper medical care and we are slashing those few programs that assist we are creating an oligarchy system with a kind of permanent underclass one in six american workers without a job and we're doing absolutely nothing to alleviate this suffering nor finally are there mechanisms within the formal power structures by which the suffering can even be addressed or acknowledge and that's extremely dangerous to our staffs he wrote about it that's what demons was about that's what notes from underground was about it was when liberal institutions don't work and you enter in dostoyevsky's word an age of moral milos we are seen leaping up around the fringes of american society some very frightening political configurations we are the only

wiretap everything that the cia doesn't want laurence for anything anymore right the suspension of habeas corpus association people can't give material support in a very broadly elastic up initially of that to suspected terrorist groups i mean we still walk around on a day to day basis we feel free but we're less free as a direct result of this and it's inevitable every single wartime situation pat in this country's history that's when there are famous clampdowns against liberties and have another woodrow wilson it happened under abraham lincoln have happened to people who you know most people like you are or give some respect to it is inevitable if we are going to be the world's policeman and constantly at war for whatever reason this is going to be a practical side effect enough why we meaning you me anyone else need to fight this constantly because there's always going to be this litmus test and it's not going to be the litmus test against closing guantanamo it's going to be about the individual speech of an individual person because they have less power then the government does and so they w

we've got also habeas corpus coming out with anthony gregory who is a new author so we are very excited about that, and we will be investigating new works early in the fall. though we've got some exciting projects on the horizon. one to look out for next year would be a book that's we are determining the dirty dozen for now but it's going to take a look at the dirtiest dozen failures over the past 100 years. so that should be very interesting. something definitely to keep in mind. >> tell me does the institute have its own press or do they published through someone else? explain how this works. >> we published our own books and also work with outside publishers, so as you see here for some of our books, self published, the institutes publish against crisis and malae upon lessons from the poor, but we've also worked with other publishers including housing america and letting north safety with outside publishers, but we do both. >> thank you very much for your time. >> thaou

so we've got, also, "habeas corpus" coming out with anthony gregory who's a new author, so we're very excited about that. and we'll be, we'll be kind of -- we'll be investigating some new works early in the fall, but we've got some exciting, exciting projects on the horizon. one to look out for next year would be a book that's, that we're terming the dirty dozen for now, but it's going to take a look at the dirtiest dozen government failures over the past 100 years. so that should be, that should be very interesting, something definitely to keep, to keep in mind. >> now, tell me, does the institute have its own press, or do they publish through someone elsesome explain how this works. >> the institute does publish our own books. we also work with outside publishers, so as you see here some of our books are self-published. the institute's published against leviathan, "lessons from the poor." but we have also worked with over -- with other publishers including housing america and liberty nor safety are both with outside publishers. but we do both. >> thank you very

bush claims that habeas corpus does not apply in guantanamo.se are profound implications for constitutional republic. there is a new book called " executive unbound." that is basically what it is, an executive unbound from constitutional law. >> i think we educators have something to answer for because we have tended to encourage a mind-set where we either at day of five or demonize of president -- we either deify or demonize a president. it would be more helpful if the president had an understanding of what the office can and cannot do. >> that does not sound like much of a reelection message. >> i am not running for reelection. [laughter] >> i think the 2012 election is going to be a bit of a struggle for obama. the democrats are probably going to gain some seats in the house, but probably not take the majority back. i think the republicans have a least a 50-50 shot at taking the senate simply because of the arithmetic there. there are up and more vulnerable seats than the republicans are. keep in mind the polarization has a lot more to do wi
