...But none for our very own John Warner.

We were all waiting with baited breath, and here it is. Senator Specter has finally delivered hope to lovers of justice. The good Senator from Pennsylvania has actually proposed an amendment to the 9-11 Bill, restoring habeas corpus. When (and not if!) this bill passes, it will undo John Warner's "compromise," which traded away our rights to habeas corpus for a worthless promise on the part of the administration not to torture any of the people we hold indefinitely.  Read the changes and then encourage your senators to support the amendment!
