But hey, it must be all GWB's fault, right?!

Well, the Bush Administration claimed the power to detain enemy combatants indefinitely - they could have instead, like FDR, gone the military tribunal route. So they bear some culpability for this issue. But the only real solution is for Congress to act and put proper constraints on this power when used against citizens apprehended in this country.

Or the Administration, could have copied FDR and put all Muslims in camps. I would not be too quick in using FDR as an example for anything remotely dealing with individuals rights.
