New lawsuits challenge Congress's detainee act

Interesting article from the Christian Science Monitor:

"President Bush has yet to sign into law Congress's new terror-detainee legislation, but defense lawyers are already asking federal judges to strike down key parts of the measure as unconstitutional. "

Also, see the Center for Constitutional Rights Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.
