"...So, my question to you, and to everyone, is - would everyone be more comfortable if the Bush Executive Order explicitly stated that tribunals applied only to non-resident non-citizens (e.g., aliens outside the territories and protectorates of the United States)?..."

A military tribunal (trial) is only justified during time of war or national emergency.
What we have doesn't qualifies on either count.

Well, doesn't the President have the authority to order the tribunals? Regardless of all the bitching. By either side. And to tell you the truth, it makes me feel more secure knowing that these terrorist bastards will not set foot on our soil again. Let them burn in hell.
