The short explanation of this alert was:
Last September, Congress passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA) which restricted habeas corpus rights, allowing the government to continue holding prisoners at Guantanamo indefinitely with no access to a fair hearing in court. Indefinite imprisonment without a fair trial or hearing is unconstitutional and un-American. Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), and Christopher Dodd (D-CT) have authored legislation to restore the right of habeas corpus, and give detainees access to a fair hearing in a court of law.
