"The German saboteurs tried by military commission in the Quirin case were arrested on U.S. soil."

Yes I understand this, and they were CHARGED, TRIED AND HUNG BY A MILITARY TRIBUNAL. I do not have a probelm with this guy being charged and tried by the military. This is war. However, i do have aproblem with a US Attorney not being able to make the charges stick in a Federal Court and then having the Federal Government turn anyone over to the Military without charges. NO ONE THE AG< POTUS DIRFBI has said "TO BE CHARGED". He is being detained that is all. We have a Constitution we don't want to suspend some of its provisions? Then follow it.

Where did you hear all that? Who said a US Atty couldn't charge him, etc. I haven't read any of that.
