   Today's newspaper says that there are nine detainees at Guantanamo Bay on   
   whose behalf habeus corpus petitions are being lodged in Washington courts.   
   Those are 2 British, 3 French, a German Turk, a Jordanian Palestinian   
   refugee an Iraqui refugee and a Canadian citizen. The actions are   
   challenging the lagality of their detantion demanding that the US Government   
   explain, in court, why the men are being held.   Of the nearly 600 detainees   
   only 4 have had access to lawyers.   
      
   Not a shining example of democracy at work.
