Democrat Levin Instrumental in Gutting Antitorture Bill

In court filings, the Justice Department lawyers argued that language in the law written by Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) gives Guantanamo Bay detainees access to the courts only to appeal their enemy combatant status determinations and convictions by military commissions.

In other words, they can't go to court to object to their torture at Guantanamo. Torture away, says Carl. Carl Levin has been the senior democrat on the Armed Services Committee since 1997.
