• Aliens in the Mirror ; the Best Space Invader Movies Tell Us About Ourselves

By the time the body is found, the Marines have discovered that the creatures are remarkably tough to kill; like horror movie villains, they get shot again and again, but keep rising from the dead. So, with the aid of a conveniently available civilian veterinarian, the troops begin a hasty dissection, searching for the hidden weakness in an indestructible enemy. As its squishy insides are spilled, the alien groans, but never says a word. The wide-eyed vet wonders at the lack of defined organs or internal structure. "Does it have some sort of cognitive mechanism? Anything?" she asks.

• Ruling Turns Soldiers Into Police

In early June, the U.S. Supreme Court decided a case of historic dimensions. With Boumediene v. Bush, decided by a 5-4 majority, the court has decided to get much more deeply into how wars are run. The case stands for the proposition that an alien enemy combatant, captured abroad while trying to kill Americans in the war on terror, whether held in the United States or elsewhere, is entitled to a habeas corpus hearing before a U.S. federal judge. Habeas corpus is the traditional right of all Americans to challenge their detention by the government. As I will explain later, this is absolutely amazing - an astonishing act of judicial hubris and a terrible decision.

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES": H 1/2 A Marine platoon faces off against an alien invasion. Lacking the spectacle of disaster of most alien movies, it's a conventional war movie in which the enemy just happens to be extraterrestrial. Rated PG-13. "MARS NEEDS MOMS": HH Animated adventure about a boy who must rescue his mom after Martians take her. Be sure to stay for the credits. Rated PG.

• A Sensible Move On Detainees

Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, deserves a salute. On Nov. 10, he engineered an amendment to a pending bill that generally ends the absurdity of alien enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) suing in federal courts officials of the United States they hope to kill. Under existing habeas corpus statutes as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Rasul v. Bush (2004), some 300 GTMO detainees have sued alleging various transgressions of constitutional rights, including a demand for dictionaries, high-speed internet access, and faster mail delivery.

• Extraordinary Relief: A Primer for Trial Practitioners

Conversely, a writ will not be in aid of a court's jurisdiction if the matter falls outside the scope of Articles 66 and 67 because the All Writs Act does not give military courts the power to oversee all matters arguably related to military justice.15 Courts will therefore not consider writs challenging administrative separations, summary court-martials, non-judicial punishment, letters of reprimand, or other administrative matters because they are not part of the court-martial process that can result in a "findings" or "sentence" reviewable under Articles 66 or 67.16 The most recent question concerning the scope of the CAAF's jurisdiction arose from a writ filed by four Guantanamo Bay prisoners.17 The petition argued that CAAF has jurisdiction to hear the writ because the petitioners ...
