You obviously don’t read Hentoff much.

Yep. I tend to ignore the rantings from the likes of Dershowitz, but Hentoff, I'll listen what he has to say. Hentoff has been one of the most principled defenders of the Bill of Rights from the Left. I don't agree with everything he says here, but the tribunals are a very, very tricky tool to give to government - and should be implemented by Congress with a sunset provision, not by Executive Order.

See Ann Coulter's latest column on the subject. She's says it much much better than I can.

That's correct. Very likely I'll disagree with most of this article, but Hentoff is NOT a political whore.

The tribunals are for non citizens who are not entitled to constitutional protections.
