Actually, both the Detainee Treatment Act and the Military Commissions Act allow an individual to challenge his status in administrative and judicial fora. These challenges are in excess of what our soldiers would be afforded as prisoners of war... ...Judicial Review : Other critics claim that our civilian courts would have no power to review any aspect of the military tribunal system, except verdicts by military tribunals. The truth is that our federal courts today already have the right to review the decisions made by military Combatant Status Review Tribunals.* The MSM is derelict in covering Obama. I update my post with the words of Senators McCain, Warner and Graham (no apologists for the Bush Administration, mind you) that directly contradict Obama\’s claims on the Military Commission Act:

I watched Obama-rama tonite on Fox before I read your post, and I thought 1) the Dems must be hurting to be going gah-gah over a freshman senator as a presidential prospect and 2) he must want to be VP. I will admit that a Hillary-Billary/Obama-rama ticket would be formidable. But I think it would also fire up the card-carrying members of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, like me, to do more to derail and defeat them. That kind of ticket coming after two years of Democrat legislation (assuming the Dems win both houses on Nov 7, an assumption I refuse to make right at this moment) should jar up the GOP and help the leadership to move from "moderate" Dumbos to "Conservative" Jumbos. If so, the base will be back in spades: then it's lead, follow or get out of the way, baby! Your choice of the words, “thin” and “vice-president,” put you and me on the same page once again.
