"If a future President begins jailing his political foes because of their ideology then that becomes a political question and if it gets bad enough then you can lock and load."

It doesn't matter how you feel. The Constitution is clear on the separation of powers and the CIC's powers during war time.

The courts have been clear since Ex-Parte Quirin on the status of enemy combatants be they "citizens" or not.

You can worry about Hillary Clinton until the cows come home. Hamdi is an enemy combatant and he's staying in the stockade until Bush says the war is over.

Personally, I think he should be vacationing in Gitmo with his fellow jihadists but hey, I can live with the stockade or the brig.
