Why can't I do both? Both are important issues dealing with human rights. Is there any good reason why I should give more importance to free speech rights than to habeas corpus rights?

Heh. You don't need to remind me of that. I live in Europe. We've prosecuted, jailed and stripped people of their civil rights because they had the audacity to say unpopular things. If I could change these laws both in Europe and Canada, I would. Unofortunately, my vote would be in the minority in both places. I don't know if it's a cultural thing or if people have been brainwashed by their control-freak governments into believing silencing certain people is somehow acceptable, all I know is I am usually the lone dissenter voice in a sea of others who approve of these laws.
