Here's the part that I don't think you are thinking through carefully:
Who are "these people?" You say "they engaged in terrorism," but that
is not how the government will define "these people" -- they are
defined as having been *accused* of engaging in terrorism. The
difference is not all that subtle and it is the key to understanding
most objections to the proposed policy. An accusation of terrorism
cannot provide a reasonable basis for taking someone's rights away.
We need to review such claims against a person in a hearing.
Even in WWII, captured enemy soldiers who did not get Geneva convention
rights were tried by a military tribunal. Is this wrong?
Are you saying that the new legislation will provide a military tribunal
to every accused enemy combatant?
