Terrorism? I've seen no overnight polls discuss that at all. Where did you hear that?

And seriously - where the hell were all these people worried about "rights" when Bush successfully prosecuted multiple terrorists in the US Federal Court system? That ring a bell?

Crotchbomber was interrogated for 30 hours, spilled his guts. Perfectly legal. Read that article I posted in the other thread about the interview with the JAG lawyers, saying that the military is in many ways far more restrictive than civilian courts. Basically saying people watch too many TV lawyer shows, and their impressions are largely wrong.

Edit: Here, I looked it up. It's not an editorial or op-ed, it's an interview with military JAG lawyers about the difference between trying crotchbomber between military and civilian courts
