Hyperbole. The US won't be annihilated by allowing habeus corpus, nor
would presenting the actual evidence, classified or otherwise, lead to
the annihilation of the united states.

So, you may trust GWB and Rumsfeld to not abuse their power, but when the
next president declares _you_ an enemy combatent, and you have no
recourse to the court system, habeus corpus or even to see the evidence
against you, don't complain to the rest of us.
