Michael Yon reports from Afghanistan on a disturbing development.

I realized that some readers will probably assume that the idea of granting habeas corpus rights to all battlefield detainees comes from the Obama administration, so please note: the administration is opposed to the ruling.

Our amicus brief must be filed by September 7. The government’s brief is due on August 31; since we are supporting the government’s position that Judge Bates’ decision should be overturned, we have to file within 7 days of the government’s filing.
