When I met with Judge Roberts on this whole issue about detention. interrogation. and prosecution of enemy combatants. he said this is an area where the courts would welcome congressional involvement. As a result of us being AWOL in Congress. there is a Supreme Court decision. 5 to 4. giving enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay habeas corpus rights. They are noncitizens. and they are able to go to Federal court because there is no clear direction from Congress about how to treat these people. Mr. President. 185 of them have lawyers. and they are absolutely overrunning the place. To me. it is absurd that an enemy combatant. noncitizen terrorist has habeas corpus rights. and the reason they do is because we are giving no guidance to the courts about how we want these people treated. I believe it is now time to give guidance to the courts. to the country. to the international community. to those in uniform serving us. and to the terrorists about what we are going to do. and Senator MCCAINS amendment has got it. It is the authority that has been missing in this great effort to win the war on terror.
