Whether or not they are "hard to deal with" is not basis for denying one a writ of habeas corpus. Should we not let a court decide, rather than the executive branch arbitrarily denying these rights?
Taking the fact that there are still people in Guantanamo being denied their rights after a court determined that they should be granted a trial into consideration clearly demonstrates that just because such court decisions have been made does not mean the executive will respect them.
Certainly this means that my cynicism is justified, albeit cliche.
