Please read the following Op Ed piece from the Washington Post:

Although we are currently focused on supporting the passage of health care reform legislation being debated in Congress, and I do not want to draw strength away from that, I nevertheless feel that we should immediately send a strong message to President Obama - both as individuals and as a group - denouncing any attempt to create a non-judicial detention rational based upon executive order.

 It is my belief that we should emphasize two very salient points:

1. That we do not accept indefinite detention of terrorist suspects without due process of civil law, not military tribunal;

2. That we don not accept the use and abuse of executive orders to circumvent what is properly the competency of Congress to pass laws and the Judiciary to execute them.

Kind regards,
