What is Federal habeas corpes?
Habeas corpes is where the government has the right to make deals with prisioners in exchange for there testimony in court. This gives them the chance to get out of jail earlier.
What happens when its gone?
The reason people do not agree with habeas corpes is because prisoners will almost say anything to get out of jail. This makes there testimony questionable and can some times give the prosecution the upper hand when they really want to put someone away. If this was gone the prosecution would not be as powerful and prisoners would have no chance of geting out early.

Does the military own intellectual property and people?
This is a very hard question to answer. The military would say that they do because they have your signiture signing away your rights, but can anyone own another person? I dont think so, everyone can do what they want. Just because a paper says your the property of something or someone dosent mean you cant just leave or stand up and say you what you think. Sadly there are alot of people in the military who are ok with the fact they are told what to do and cant do everything they want. Some people need some kind of structure in there life. I dont think anyone should join the military because of the rights that you give away. I would not be able to live knowing that if someone told me I had to kill, that I would have to do it with no say in the reason I was killing.

Do you think that the nature of military collaboration creates the ownership of intellectual property and the people generating the content?
Yea I guess that the miliary collaboration does come up with a crazy idea such as ownership of other people, but this still does not make this right.
