Welcome to the State of Exception. The suspension of habeas corpus is a fundamental tactic to detach criminality from any reference to anything actual. Fact and right, for prisoners of the war on terrorism, have been indefinitely suspended. Defendents have neither access to the evidence against them nor, upon conviction, the right to a retrial. With the concept of precedent now annulled from law, the state of seige becomes time itself.
