It was bad news for the whole country when Habeas disappeared 芒鈧�鈥� and things won芒鈧�鈩�t be right until he芒鈧�鈩�s back where he belongs, protecting every single person threatened with unlawful detention or imprisonment.Still, we were relieved, and a little surprised, when we started getting letters and emails that seem to be from Habeas. It helped remind us that he芒鈧�鈩�s out there somewhere, and that we will find him. To My Friends:I don芒鈧�鈩�t know what I expected to find revisiting my past, but when I realized I was heading for , it made a kind of sense.Honestly, things have been a bit of a blur since late October, when Congress made it clear that I wasn芒鈧�鈩�t welcome in Washington I remember the chill in the air. Then the long walk down the Mall. Maybe people noticed me, maybe they didn芒鈧�鈩�t. I felt almost invisible.The next few days, I moved from town to town. On Halloween some tourists in Philadelphia handed me pieces of candy. One girl asked 芒鈧�艙Are you a Martian?芒鈧�聺 Someone else thought I was the 芒鈧�艙Nowhere Man,芒鈧�聺 from the Beatles芒鈧�鈩� 芒鈧�艙Yellow Submarine芒鈧�聺 movie. I called after them 芒鈧�艙This isn芒鈧�鈩�t a costume! I芒鈧�鈩�m me! I芒鈧�鈩�m Habeas!芒鈧�聺But I don芒鈧�鈩�t think they heard. I have to tell you, every day since October 17 has felt a little bit like Halloween. And some days I really do feel like an alien.Maybe that was the feeling that drew me back to my past, back to Lincoln. Maybe I thought there芒鈧�鈩�d be answers here.President Lincoln芒鈧�鈩�s Civil War suspension of habeas corpus made it legal to arrest and try Northern civilians who were against the war. He argued that 芒鈧�艙that ordinary courts of justice are inadequate to cases of rebellion.芒鈧�聺I know he was wrong to suspend my writ. I tried to see him that awful spring, it was April then, too, actually. But he was always surrounded by generals 芒鈧�鈥� and he wouldn芒鈧�鈩�t see me.Few scholars would tell you that Lincoln芒鈧�鈩�s suspension was constitutional. History will show that President Bush芒鈧�鈩�s isn芒鈧�鈩�t either. But like it did in Lincoln芒鈧�鈩�s day, Congress went ahead this time too芒鈧�鈥漧etting their fear get in the way of our laws, and our beliefs.Standing on Lincoln芒鈧�鈩�s lawn, I recalled his quote 芒鈧�艙Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.芒鈧�聺For such a brilliant man, he had some conflicting ideas. We can芒鈧�鈩�t deny people their freedoms, not now, not next year, not ten years from now. That just isn芒鈧�鈩�t the American way芒鈧�鈥漚nd it shouldn芒鈧�鈩�t have been Lincoln芒鈧�鈩�s or Bush芒鈧�鈩�s either.Most of all, it shouldn芒鈧�鈩�t be our way. The people want their leaders to stand up and defend freedom, especially for those who can芒鈧�鈩�t defend themselves.I know it芒鈧�鈩�s true. I芒鈧�鈩�m sure of it. My head is clearer now than it was in the first shock of October. I芒鈧�鈩�ll keep looking for answers.And I芒鈧�鈩�ll stay in touch.Habeas
